It occurs naturally in various foods, including coriander, citrus oils, and cooked meats, contributing to their complex flavor profiles.

It is particularly valued for creating authentic citrus, cilantro, and fried food flavors. Its chemical stability and aromatic intensity make it a staple ingredient for formulators seeking to replicate specific natural profiles in processed food products and aromatic compositions.
