Product Description

Van Aroma is the leading producer of Cuelure (4-(p-acetoxyphenyl)-2-butanone), a synthetic compound structurally related to raspberry ketone. Appearing as a colorless to pale yellow liquid, it carries a mild, fruity, raspberry-like aroma. Best known as one of the most potent attractants for Bactrocera fruit flies, Cuelure is widely used in agricultural pest control traps to protect fruit crops. Its molecular structure also draws interest in fragrance research for potential bio-based aroma applications, although its use in mainstream perfumery remains rare.
