Name: Bio acetaldehyde
Rating: 5 (30 reviews)

At Nedstar, we’re proud to introduce bio acetaldehyde to our growing portfolio of sustainable, bio-based ingredients. Also known as ethanal or CH3CHO, acetaldehyde is a colourless, flammable liquid used in everything from fragrances to solvents, and now, thanks to bioethanol, it can be made more sustainably than ever.

Wondering what acetaldehyde is used for and how it’s produced? Keep reading to discover how this product can support your business.

What is bio acetaldehyde?

Acetaldehyde (chemical formula: CH3CHO) is a chemical intermediate in many industrial processes. As one of the simplest aldehydes, it’s widely used in the manufacture of perfumes, plastics, flavours, and pharmaceutical compounds due to its high reactivity, volatility, and ability to easily bond with other molecules during chemical synthesis.

Our bio acetaldehyde is derived from bioethanol. This gives it a significantly smaller environmental footprint than traditional petrochemical-based options, making it an excellent fit for companies looking to align with global sustainability goals.

The acetaldehyde process: From ethanol to acetaldehyde

Nedstar’s acetaldehyde production from ethanol relies on catalytic oxidation, a cleaner, greener alternative to fossil-based manufacturing.

In this process, bioethanol (made from crops like sugarcane or corn) reacts with oxygen over a catalyst, producing acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) and water. This method is energy-efficient and significantly reduces harmful emissions, supporting more sustainable chemical production.

Plastics & resins

Acts as a building block for synthetic materials and polymers.

Pharmaceuticals

Used in the production of vitamins, sedatives, and disinfectants for the pharma industry.

Solvents & dyes

An important intermediate in manufacturing lacquers, paints, and dyes.

Flavours & fragrances

Provides fruity notes in food flavourings and perfumery.
