Common products:
Leaves (fresh or dried) are processed into flavoring extracts and concentrates used by the food industry; leaf-derived natural green pigments are used as colorants.

Food and beverages (non-medicinal):
Widely used as a flavoring and aroma agent in Southeast Asian cuisines for rice, coconut desserts, cakes, beverages, and confections. Leaves or extracts are used as coloring agents to impart a characteristic green hue to foods. Products include pandan essence, leaf extracts, and leaf paste. Processing involves chopping, blending, or infusion to extract aroma and color before incorporation into foods. No medicinal claims are implied.

Fragrance and cosmetics:
Leaves and leaf extracts are employed as fragrance ingredients in perfumery and fragrance compounding, especially in blends intended to evoke Southeast Asian culinary notes. Regulatory status follows generally applicable fragrance compliance norms; specific compositional details are provided by fragrance industry references (e.g., IFRA).

Properties relevant to use:
Aroma derives from 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline as the major volatile; other constituents include hydrocarbons and oxygenated compounds typical of aromatic leaves. Green pigments in leaves facilitate natural food-coloring applications. The natural color is heat-sensitive, with stability affected by pH and exposure to light and oxygen.

Standards and regulation:
Flavoring and fragrance uses are governed by relevant IFRA standards for fragrance materials and national food regulations for flavoring substances and food colors. Leaf-derived natural food colorants may be listed under national additive codes; application-specific standards apply when used in food.
