There is a marked difference in odor quality and floral effect between "high-grade" Amyl cinnamic aldehyde and "regular" or commercial (prime, etc.) grade. Lots from various producers also show considerable difference in odor quality. ACA is very susceptible to oxidation unless properly treated with an antioxidant (convent-ionally added by most manufacturers). Old or oxidized ACA has objectionable, rancid-fatty odor. Lower grades of ACA may shou by-odor of Benzaldehyde, Hepraldehyde or Amyl nonenal, sometimes called Di-heptenal. Concentration in perfumes may vary from 2 to 10%, in exceptional cases up to 30-35Β°. Used in flavor compositions for imitation Apple, Apricot, Peach, Spice, Strawberry, Walnut, usually in traces only (Arctander)
