Chemical Properties

A liquid with a fruit-like (apple, cherry) aroma. Used as a flavoring agent or adjuvant

Uses

Allyl Isovalerate is a synthetic flavoring agent that is a stable, color- less to light yellow liquid of fruity odor. it should be stored in glass or tin containers. it has usage in fruit flavors with applications in beverages, baked goods, ice cream, and candy at 8–50 ppm.

Preparation

By direct esterification in the presence of benzene.

Definition

ChEBI: Allyl isovalerate is a fatty acid ester.

Taste threshold values

Taste characteristics at 5 ppm: sweet fruity, with an apple, banana, pineapple and bubble gum-like nuance

General Description

Clear colorless to pale yellow liquid with overripe fruit odor and an apple taste.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

ALLYL ISOVALERATE may react vigorously with strong oxidizing agents. Can react exothermically with reducing agents (such as alkali metals and hydrides) to release gaseous hydrogen. May react exothermically with both acids and bases.

Hazard

Toxic, irritant, questionable carcinogen

Fire Hazard

ALLYL ISOVALERATE is combustible.

Synthesis

Allyl isovalerate is produced by direct esterification of Allylalcohol with iso-Valerie acid under azeotropic conditions.
