Primary use is in fruit flavours, and also finds use in vegetable and condiment flavours. Camps (1985) indicates that this material is closest in odor profile to 2-Methyl-4-propyl-1,3-oxathiane, FEMA# 3578; although perhaps more green), which is considered to be a key organoleptic constituent of yellow passionfruit. Normal use levels in finished consumer product: 0.02-6 ppm.
