Isoamyl Hexanoate is a synthetic flavoring agent that is a stable, colorless liquid of fruity odor. It is soluble in alcohol, fixed oils, and mineral oil. Storage should be in glass, tin, or resin-lined containers. It is used in fruit flavors such as banana and pineapple for applications in desserts, candy, and ice cream at 4–22 ppm.

Definition

ChEBI: A fatty acid ester obtained by the formal condensation of the carboxy group of hexanoic acid (caproic acid) with the alcoholic hydroxy group of 3-methylbutan-1-ol (isoamylol).

Preparation

By esterification of caproic acid with the isomeric amyl alcohols obtained from fusel oil and other sources.

Production Methods

Isoamyl hexanoate is prepared by direct esterification of the iso-Amyl alcohol with Caproic ( = Hexanoic) acid under azeotropic conditions.

Taste threshold values

Taste characteristics at 25 ppm: fruity, green, pineapple with a waxy nuance

Solubility in organics
