Ethyl nonanoate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

clear colorless liquid

Chemical Properties

Ethyl nonanoate has a slightly fatty, oily, nutty, fruity, odor reminiscent of cognac with a rosy-fruity note.

Occurrence

Reported found in pineapple, banana, plum, apple, Parmesan cheese, milk, beer, cognac, rum, whiskey, grape wines, plum and pear brandy, wheaten bread, beef and corn oil, grape, plum and elderberry.

Uses

Ethyl Nonanoate is used in production method of blueberry health-care vinegar containing lactic acid bacteria powder.

Uses

Ethyl Nonanoate is a synthetic flavoring agent that is a stable, col- orless liquid of fruit cognac odor. it is practically insoluble in water and is miscible with alcohol and propylene glycol. it should be stored in glass or tin containers. it is used in flavors such as apple, pear, and cognac with applications in beverages, ice cream, candy, and alcohol beverages at 4–20 ppm.

Uses

Flavoring alcoholic beverages; perfumes; chemical intermediate.

Definition

ChEBI: A fatty acid ethyl ester of nonanoic acid.

Preparation

By distillation of pelargonic acid and ethyl alcohol in toluene in the presence of small amounts of muriatic acid (HCl); also by hydrogenation of oenanthylidene acetate in the presence of Ni at 180°C.

Aroma threshold values

Detection: 12 ppm

Taste threshold values

Taste characteristics at 5.0 ppm: fruity, estry, green, waxy and fatty with banana and tropical nuances.

General Description

Ethyl nonanoate is separated and quantified from cachaca, rum and whisky by direct injection gas chromatography spectrometry. It is used as the internal standard to monitor the solid-phase micro-extraction fibre extraction integrity and efficiency.

Safety Profile

Mildly toxic by ingestion. A skin irritant. Combustible liquid. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes
