Filbertone

Chemical compound

Filbertone is the principal flavor compound of hazelnuts.[1] It is used in perfumery and is designated as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in foods.[2]

Quick Facts Names, Identifiers ...

Because filbertone is found in hazelnut oil, its presence can be used to detect the adulteration of olive oil with less expensive hazelnut oil.[3][4]

The natural compound is mixture of both enantiomers, and the composition can vary depending on the source.[5][6]
