Ethyl Maltol Dilution
Ethyl Maltol is a crystalline powder in its pure form. Here we provide a pre-dissolved solution in DPG for your convenience. We do however have the pure crystalline powder form available here if you prefer to work with the pure form of this material.
Ethyl Maltol dilution has a dreamy, sugary sweet, caramel, strawberry jam-like odour evocative of freshly spun candy floss.
It’s an extremely powerful material commonly used in high dilution for adding sweetness to a blend or in conjunction with Vanilla to produce a seductively, edible scent.
Trace amounts used in combination with fruity esters produce realistic fruit accords, particularly Strawberry, Pineapple, Nectarine, Peach and Apricot.
With Allyl Hexanoat, it will give the illusion of fresh Pineapples. Likewise when used in combination with Gamma Octalactone and Stemone, Ethyl Maltol will create the illusion of ripe figs and with Fructone will lend itself to the illusion of fresh Strawberries.
