What is the identity and typical physical form of Cuminaldehyde CAS 122-03-2?

CAS 122-03-2 identifies Cuminaldehyde, also called 4-isopropylbenzaldehyde, p-isopropylbenzaldehyde or cuminic aldehyde, with molecular formula C₁₀H₁₂O. It is commonly a colorless to pale yellow liquid, but confirm the offered physical form and analytical profile for the target application.

Are technical and fragrance-use Cuminaldehyde grades automatically equivalent?

No. Commercial specifications range from technical material near 90% to higher-assay grades with tighter color and acid-value limits. Fragrance or flavor use also requires regulatory and sensory approval by the buyer, which a technical CAS match does not establish.

What should a Cuminaldehyde purchase specification include?

Specify GC assay, color by the agreed scale, acid value, appearance, refractive index or specific gravity, and any water or related-aldehyde limits required by the process. State application, quantity and packaging requirement before quotation.

How should Cuminaldehyde be stored, handled, and transported?

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, open flames, strong oxidizers and incompatible materials. Keep containers tightly closed, avoid direct contact, and confirm the exact UN number, hazard class and packaging before shipment.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

Q:
What is the identity and typical physical form of Cuminaldehyde CAS 122-03-2?

A: CAS 122-03-2 identifies Cuminaldehyde, also called 4-isopropylbenzaldehyde, p-isopropylbenzaldehyde or cuminic aldehyde, with molecular formula C₁₀H₁₂O. It is commonly a colorless to pale yellow liquid, but confirm the offered physical form and analytical profile for the target application.
Q:
What is Cuminaldehyde used for?

A: Cuminaldehyde is used mainly in flavor and fragrance formulations for its spicy, warm cumin-like character, and as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and specialty fine chemicals. Natural, synthetic and technical grades can differ in odor, purity and regulatory suitability.
