FEMA 2080 Usage And Synthesis

Aroma

Peculiar oily-fruity, slightly animal odor reminiscent of Elderflower, with orris undertones. Used in flavor compositions for imitation Chocolate, Fruit (mostly the heavier types), Liqueur and Brandy flavoring, etc. Concentrations are usually traces (a few ppm) up to 7 ppm in the finished consumer product.

Description

Isoamyl octanoate has a fruity odor. May be prepared by esterification of octanoic acid with commercial isoamyl alcohols, which vary in isomer distribution according to source.

Chemical Properties

Isoamyl octanoate has a fruity odor

Chemical Properties

Colorless liquid

Occurrence

Reported found in wine, banana, strawberry, apple, grape, cheeses, beer, cognac, rum, whiskies, cider, sherry, grape wines, plum brandy, mango, pear and apple brandy, strawberry wine, sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) and mastic gum leaf and fruit oil.

Production Methods

Produced by direct estenfication of the isoAmyl alcohol with Octanoic acid (n-Caprylic acid) under azeotropic conditions.

Definition

ChEBI: A fatty acid ester obtained by the formal condensation of isoamylol with caprylic acid.

Preparation

By esterification of octanoic acid with commercial isoamyl alcohols, which vary in isomer distribution according to source

Taste threshold values

Taste characteristics at 20 ppm: sweet, fruity, waxy, pineapple, fruity and green with coconut and cognac nuances.
