Global 1-Hexanol Market Definition

1-Hexanol is an organic compound that contains organic alcohol with six carbon in the chain. CH3 (CH2)5OH is the molecular formula for the 1 Hexanol. It can be found in Eupatorium cannabis, Vitis rotundifolia, and other organisms. 1-Hexanol is majorly used in pharmaceutical, chemical, food and beverage, oil and gas, agriculture industry, and other industrial uses. Moreover, it is frequently used for fuels and fuel additives, functional fluids, intermediates, lubricants, surface active agents, air care products, personal care products, auto products, biodiesel, bioethanol, and many others.

This white liquid is soluble in ether and ethanol but poorly soluble in water. There are two further 1-hexanol straight-chain isomers2-hexanol and 3-hexanol. These two are distinct from one another by the position of the hydroxyl group. The formula C6H13OH is shared by many isomeric alcohols. It is thought that 1-hexanol contributes to the aroma of freshly cut grass. It serves as a flavoring agent and is used in the perfume industry. Numerous plants contain 1-hexanol, including lemon, tea, yellow bell pepper, and hyssop. Essential oils frequently include the substance 1-hexanol (e.g. orange-peel oil).

Global 1-Hexanol Market Overview

Numerous applications of 1-Hexanol in multiple industries fueling the demand for 1-Hexanol near future. 1-Hexanol is being used in multiple industries such as pharmaceutical, chemical, cosmetics, etc. Growing production of biodiesel and bioethanol and growing awareness about green solvents in multiple applications are anticipated to boost the demand for 1-Hexanol in the forecasted period.
