Occurrence
Reported found in kumquat peel oil.
The Uses of Isobutyl cinnamate
Isobutyl Cinnamate is a synthetic flavoring agent that is a stable, colorless to light yellow liquid of fruity odor. it is miscible with alco- hol, chloroform, and ether but is practically insoluble in water. storage should be in glass or tin-lined containers. it is used in fruit flavors such as cherry and prune with applications in beverages, ice cream, candy, and baked goods at 1–5 ppm.
The Uses of Isobutyl cinnamate
Perfumery.
Preparation
By heating cinnamyl chloride and isobutyl alcohol
Definition
ChEBI: Isobutyl cinnamate is a cinnamate ester.
General Description
Isobutyl cinnamate can be used as a food flavoring agent and fragrance ingredient.
Metabolism
Since the hydrolysis of ester linkages in foreign compounds may be catalysed by many different esterases, which are to be found in all animals and bacteria and have, for the most part, a low degree of substrate specificity (Parke, 1968), it seems probable that isobutyl cinnamate, like other esters, would be hydrolysed to form the corresponding acid and alcohol.
