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 food products. [2]
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 a mixture of both enantiomers, and its composition can vary depending on the source. [5] [6]
