37112-31-5 - Introduction

Levoglucosenone(Levoglucosenone) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H8O3. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a special aromatic odor.

One of the main uses of Levoglucosenone is as a raw material for flavors and fragrances. It has a sweet orange-like aroma characteristics, is widely used in food, beverage and personal care products in the flavor formulation.

The Levoglucosenone can be obtained by pyrolyzing a cellulose-containing substance such as tissue paper or lignin at a high temperature. The tar produced in this process will be separated and purified, and finally Levoglucosenone.

For safety information, Levoglucosenone are generally considered to be safer compounds. However, as with all chemical substances, appropriate safety measures are required for their use. It may be irritating to the skin and eyes, so direct contact should be avoided during use. At the same time, it should be stored in a sealed container, away from heat sources and flames. When using, please strictly follow the relevant safety instructions to ensure personal safety and environmental safety.
