(E)-2-hexenal

CAS Number: 6728-26-3

The statistical data we collected from 19 public perfume formulas suggests that the mean dose for (E)-2-hexenal is 0.050%. The typical lower limit is 0.020%, and the usual higher limit is 0.15%. The highest amount of (E)-2-hexenal we encountered in any single formula is 4.5%, and the lowest was 0.0011%.
Please note that according to the IFRA Standard Category 4, the level of (E)-2-hexenal should not exceed 0.010% of the final product. Assuming that you will be using your formula for an alcoholic perfume at a 10% dilution, this means you should only use (E)-2-hexenal at 0.10% or less of the formula.
