Ethyl Undecylenate
Manufactured by Nova Industries
Nova Industries manufactures Ethyl Undecylenate (Ethyl 10-Undecenoate), a high-purity unsaturated ester produced by the esterification of Undecylenic Acid with Ethyl Alcohol.
This C-13 ester is valued in the flavor and fragrance industry for its ability to impart distinct wine-like and fruity notes to formulations. Its specific volatility and odor profile make it an excellent modifier for floral and fruity accords.
