DIETHYL CARBONATE
Diethyl carbonate is used in flavoring applications as a solvent, allowing for the proper dilution and dispersion of other flavoring compounds, providing a mild, slightly sweet character to the final flavor profile; however, it is not typically used as a primary flavoring agent itself and is often considered a "carrier" solvent due to its relatively neutral taste.
