Triethyl citrate (TEC) is a versatile solvent often used in perfumery. Here are some of the main applications:
Solvent: TEC is used to dissolve various fragrances including oily products, crystals, powders and resins. It is almost odorless, with light hints of mild fruity wine and plum notes.
Alcohol Substitute: TEC can partially replace alcohol in perfume formulations, reducing some of the odor associated with higher percentages of alcohol.
Stabilizer: It helps stabilize the fragrances, ensuring a consistent fragrance profile over time.
Deodorant ingredient: In cosmetics, TEC in deodorant works by inhibiting bacterial enzymes responsible for the breakdown of sweat, thereby reducing the odor of perspiration.
TEC is a popular choice in natural perfumery due to its effectiveness and relatively low toxicity compared to other solvents such as DEP (phthalates).
