Raspberry Ketone (4‑(4‑Hydroxyphenyl)‑2‑butanone) is a high‑purity aromatic compound widely used in the flavor & fragrance, cosmetics and food additive industries. Its characteristic fruity, rasp‑berry‑type aroma makes it ideal for use in red‑fruit flavor formulations, berry fragrance accords, perfumes, shampoos and soaps. In addition, it can serve as a chemical intermediate in fine‑chemical syntheses, taking advantage of its hydroxyphenyl‑ketone structure.
