Description |
Ethyl butyrate is an
ester soluble in propylene glycol, paraffin oil, and kerosene. It has a
fruity odor, similar to pineapple. Ethyl butyrate is present in many fruits
e.g. apple, apricot, banana, plum, tangerine etc. |
Uses |
Ethyl Butyrate is
used in flavorings, extracts, perfumery, and as a solvent. These are not
necessarily FDA approved indications, but instead are uses of liquid
nitrogen.It is synthesized by reacting ethanol and butyric acid in a
condensation reaction. |
Chemical Properties |
Ethyl Butyrate occurs in fruits and alcoholic beverages, but also in other foods such as cheese. It has a fruity odor, reminiscent of pineapples. Large amounts are used in perfume and in flavor compositions. |
Chemical Properties |
Ethyl butyrate is a colorless liquid. Pineapple odor. The Odor Threshold is 0.015 ppm. |
Chemical Properties |
colourless liquid with a fruity odour |
Chemical Properties |
Ethyl butyrate has a fruity odor with pineapple undertone and sweet, analogous taste. |
Uses |
manufacture of artificial rum; perfumery; the alcoholic solution constitutes the so-called "pineapple oil". |
Production Methods |
Ethyl Butyrate can be synthesized by reacting ethanol and butyric acid. This is a condensation reaction, meaning water is produced in the reaction as a byproduct. |
Preparation |
By esterification of n-butyric acid with ethyl alcohol in the presence of Twichell’s reagent or MgCI2; also by heating n-butyl alcohol and ethanol over CuO + UO3 catalyst at 270°C |
