What is TETRAHYDROFURFURYL BUTYRATE?

Chemical properties

Tetrahydrofurfuryl butyrate has a heavy, sweet odor reminiscent of apricot and pineapple. It has a sweet, fruity flavor at low levels, becoming pungent at higher levels.

Physical properties

Colorless liquid. lnsolublein water, soluble in alcohol, miscible with oils.

The Uses of TETRAHYDROFURFURYL BUTYRATE

Tetrahydrofurfuryl butyrate has found some use in fruit flavor compositions, mainly as a fixative for the more volatile esters (Butyl butyrate, etc.), and as a modifier in general. It can not be used at the same high levels as used for the conventional "fruit esters", because it is deficient in natural character, yet it has an overall pleasant effect at low levels, and is quite versatile then.
Concentrations in finished products are about 1 to 15 ppm.

Preparation

May be prepared by esterification of the alcohol with n-butyric acid.
