Description

2-Pentanone or methyl propyl ketone (MPK) is a colorless liquid ketone with the odor of fingernail polish or a strong fruity odor. It was found in apple and can be isolated from soya oil (Glycine max), pineapple and a few other plant sources. It also occurs naturally in tobacco and blue cheese as a metabolic product of Penicillium mold growth. It is a solvent of minor importance that can be used for cleaning or degreasing and becoming part of product formulation or mixture. It is also an industrial intermediate and can be used for paint additives and coating additives. It is sometimes used in very small amounts as a flavoring food additive.

Chemical Properties

2-Pentanone has an ethereal, fruity odor.
