The Uses of TRANS-2-HEXENYL BUTYRATE

trans-2-Hexenyl butyrate is a sex pheromone.

Definition

ChEBI: (E)-2-Hexenyl butyrate is a fatty acid ester.

What are the applications of Application

Trans-2-Hexenyl butyrate, not a very commonly used member of the series, could find some use in perfume compositions and artificial essential oils. It is most conceivable, however, that the material will find more interest in the flavour laboratory. As a trace in the component of various fruit compositions, it could lend interesting and natural notes to Apricots, Apples, Pineapples, and Plums and to various Cognac or Brandy flavour compositions. The concentration used would normally be about 0.5 to 2 ppm, calculated upon the finished product.

Production Methods

Trans-2-Hexenyl butyrate is produced by the esterification of trans-2-Hexenol with n-Butync acid under azeotropic conditions.

Aroma threshold values

Aroma characteristics at 1.0%: green, ripe fruity with apple and fermented banana notes and a fatty nuance, becoming green grassy on dryout

Taste threshold values

Taste characteristics at 1 to 10 ppm: green, oily, fresh fruity with a full mouthfeel
