Profile
Sotolon is curated in this catalog as a warm sweet material, with a secondary reading of caramelized.
On the strip it reads burnt sugar curry maple.
It is registered under CAS 28664-35-9.
The catalog records an average working dose of 0.05% Max%, which is a starting point for a trial rather than a limit.
How it behaves
volatility index 0.90 · the openingA boiling point of 94 °C and a molecular weight of 128.127 g/mol give Sotolon a volatility index of 0.90, which places it in the opening of a composition.
It leaves the strip early and does its work in the first minutes, before the heart arrives.
The index runs from 0 for a material that barely leaves the strip to 1 for one that flashes off, and it is computed from boiling point and molecular weight. Inside a real formula the surrounding materials shift where the boundaries fall, so a material can read differently there than it does here.

How much Sotolon should I use?
The catalog records an average working dose of 0.05% Max% for Sotolon. Treat that as the starting point for a trial: the right dose depends on what else is in the formula and what you want it to do there.
What can I use instead of Sotolon?
The closest materials in this catalog by olfactive profile and physical behaviour are 2-Acetylthiazole (80.2% match), Furaneol 10% (75% match) and 2-Acetylpyrazine (67.4% match). Closeness is scored on descriptor taxonomy and on measured properties, so the nearest match is the one that behaves most like Sotolon. Ranking ignores price.
