CAS: 69300-15-8
Frutonile (CAS: 69300-15-8), also known as 2-Methyl-2-(methylthio)propionitrile, is a synthetic aroma chemical. It is characterized by a potent, complex odor profile often described as fruity, green, blackcurrant, cherry, and almond-like. It is a nitrile derivative containing a sulfur atom.
It is primarily used as a flavor and fragrance ingredient in the food, beverage, and perfumery industries. Its unique profile allows it to contribute green, fruity, or almond nuances to various compositions.
In the food industry, Frutonile is utilized in fruit flavor formulations, particularly for blackcurrant, cherry, almond, and other red fruit flavors in products like confectionery, baked goods, dairy products, and beverages. In the fragrance industry, it can be incorporated into perfumes, soaps, and other personal care products to impart fresh, fruity-green accords.
Frutonile has been evaluated by the Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association (FEMA) and is listed as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) under FEMA No. 3672 for use as a flavoring agent, suggesting it is safe for consumption at low levels typically found in food. As with many concentrated aroma chemicals, direct contact with skin or eyes in its undiluted form should be avoided to prevent potential irritation. Standard industrial hygiene practices and proper handling procedures are recommended.
