Safranal is a key aromatic aldehyde responsible for the characteristic warm, hay-like, spicy-saffron aroma found in natural saffron. Structurally related to carotenoid degradation products, it is used widely in perfumery and high-end flavoring formulations. It can be derived naturally (from Crocus sativus L.) or synthetically from dehydro-beta-cyclocitral.
