ANGELIC ACID ISOAMYL ESTER Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

Herbaceous-winey taste in suitable dilution (5-20 ppm.). Finds some use in perfumery in the reconstruction of “Roman” Chamomile oil which is very expensive and often in poor supply. Recent availability of low-cost Angelic acid has produced an increased interest in the esters. Occasionally used in flavors, mainly for liqueurs and certain types of candy, or as a trace component-modifier in minty toothpaste flavors. Produced from Angelic acid and iso-Amyl alcohol by direct esterification under azeotropic conditions.
