Application

Cyclopentadecanolide serves multiple purposes, primarily recognized for its remarkably persistent musk-like aroma. It plays a vital role not only in the flavor industry but also in chemical synthesis. In the realm of flavors, Cyclopentadecanolide is known for significantly enhancing the sensory experience of various products, such as alcoholic beverages, dentifrices, and berry flavors, when used in precise concentrations ranging from 0.02 to 1.50 ppm in finished products. This macrolide has a unique ability to transform the flavor profile, leading to a noticeable preference among consumers. Additionally, Cyclopentadecanolide is pivotal in synthesizing poly(pentadecanolide) (PPDL) via Novozyme 435 catalyzed ring-opening polymerization, and it serves as a starting reagent for creating terminally-branched iso-fatty acids. Its versatility and potent impact make it a valued component across a spectrum of applications, from enriching flavors to contributing to chemical processes.
