Benzaldehyde

Benzaldehyde is an organic compound with a distinctive almond-like aroma. It is found naturally in almonds, cherries, and other fruits, and is widely used in flavorings and fragrances. Chemically, it consists of a benzene ring attached to an aldehyde group, which gives it its characteristic smell. Benzaldehyde is also used in the production of dyes, plastics, and pharmaceuticals. It is typically a colorless liquid that easily evaporates and interacts with other substances to create scents or flavors. Its natural and synthetic forms are both valued for their aromatic properties in various industrial applications.
