Ethyl heptanoate Usage And Synthesis

Description

Ethyl heptanoate is the ester resulting from the condensation of heptanoic acid and ethanol. It is used in the flavor industry because of its odor that is similar to grape.

Chemical Properties

Ethyl Heptanoate is a clear colorless liquid that has a fruity odor reminiscent of cognac with a corresponding taste. It has been also reported to have a winy-brandy odor. It is found in fruits and alcoholic beverages and is used in appropriate aroma compositions. It is used as a flavor ingredient in foods.

Occurrence

Reported found in apple, tangerine peel, grape, pineapple, strawberry, peas, hops beer, apricot, Vitis labrusca, cheeses, butter, milk, beer, cognac, brandy, whiskey, rum, grape wines, cocoa, filberts, olive, passion fruit, plums, corn oil and nectarines.

Uses

In the manufacture of liqueurs. Plays an important part in the formulation of raspberry, gooseberry, grape, cherry, apricot, currant, bourbon, and other artificial essences.

Uses

Ethyl heptanoate was used in a nickel nanoparticles-catalysed, transfer hydrogenation of olefins.

Definition

ChEBI: Ethyl heptanoate is the fatty acid ethyl ester of heptanoic acid. It has a role as a metabolite. It is functionally related to a heptanoic acid.

Preparation

By esterification of heptoic acid; by reacting the silver salt of the acid with ethyl-iodide or with ethyl alcohol in the presence of mineral acids.

Aroma threshold values

Detection: 2 ppb

Taste threshold values

Taste characteristics at 10 ppm: fruity and waxy with a green winey nuance.

General Description

Ethyl heptanoate, an aroma compound, was released from a series of sodium caseinate-stabilized, n-eicosane emulsions during the investigation of solid and liquid lipid droplet concentration.

Flammability and Explosibility

Not classified

Safety Profile

Low toxicity by ingestion and skin contact. Flammable liquid when exposed to heat, sparks, or flame. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
