| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Hexyl formate has a fruity, apple-like or unripe-plum odor and a
corresponding sweet taste. May be synthesized by prolonged boiling of n-hexyl alcohol and formic acid, or by azeotropic distillation
of the alcohol and isopropyl formate.
| [Chemical Properties]
Colorless liquid | [Chemical Properties]
Hexyl formate has a fruity, apple-like or unripe-plum odor; corresponding sweet taste.
| [Occurrence]
Reported found in peach, grape, apple, strawberry, tea, plum, licorice, corn oil, wax gourd and black choke
cherry | [Uses]
Hexyl formate is used mostly in flavor compositions. Jts application in perfumes - if any - is
limited to traces in topnote compositions and in reconstructed essential oils (Geranium,
Lavender, etc.). Hexyl formate is used quite widely in fruit
flavors for imitation Apple, Cherry, Gooseberry, Umon, Orange, Pineapple, Plum,
Strawberry, Raspbemy, etc. and in various
fruit complexes, Tutti-frutti compositions, etc.
The concentration used is normally about
10 to 50 ppm in the finished product. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Hexyl formate is a carboxylic ester. | [Preparation]
By prolonged boiling of n-hexyl alcohol and formic acid, or by azeotropic distillation of the alcohol and isopropyl formate |
