Isovaleraldehyde, 98%

Product Code. 11438860

Brand: Thermo Scientific Alfa Aesar A19640.AE

Description

CAS: 590-86-3 | C5H10O | 86.13 g/mol

Isovaleraldehyde acts as a reagent in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) products. It serves as an internal standard for the determination of wine aroma carbonyl compounds with 5-8 carbon atoms. Further, it is utilized as a standard to evaluate the quality of olive oils by headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography using flame ionization detection and multivariate analysis. In addition to this, it is employed to enhance the taste and odor of the food.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
