Cinnamyl isovalerate has a characteristic rose-like odor and an apple-like taste.

Occurrence

Has apparently not been reported to occur in nature.

Uses

Used quite frequently in flavor compositions for imitation Apple, Apricot, Cherry, Chocolate, Grape, Maple, Nut, Peach, Pineapple, Plum, Spice, Strawberry, etc. Also, in tobacco flavorings.

Preparation

By esterification of cinnamic alcohol with isovaleric acid.

Taste threshold values
