In the food sector, it is classified as a GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) substance and is primarily utilized in the formulation of food flavorings featuring notes such as vanilla, cinnamon, cherry, and tropical fruits.
Its preparation is primarily achieved through the esterification polymerization of tridecanedioic acid and ethylene glycol, followed by high-temperature depolymerization and cyclization.
