Isoamyl Butyrate is a synthetic flavoring agent that is a stable, col-
orless liquid of strong fruity odor. it is usually prepared by esterifica-
tion of isoamyl alcohols with butyric acid. it is soluble in most fixed
oils and mineral oil and is insoluble in glycerin and propylene gly-
col. storage should be in glass, tin, or resin-lined containers. it is
used in fruit flavors such as pineapple, raspberry, and strawberry
and has application in dessert gels, puddings, and baked goods at
50–60 ppm. | [CAS DataBase Reference]

| Questions And Answer | Back Directory | [Description]
Isoamyl Butyrate is a chemical ester of butyrate. It is a kind of
flavoring agent that widely used in the preparation of a variety of
fruit juice flavor, such as apricots, bananas, pears, apples and
other flavor. It is high-demand flavor and fragrance compounds
widely used in the food, beverage, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical
industries. It is also a kind of solvent for extracting natural
spices and the solvent of acetate fiber. Its synthesis can be
mediated by the lipase (from various sources) catalyzed
esterfication of isoamyl alcohol and butyrate. | [References]
