3-Methylbutyl 3-methylbutanoate Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Aroma
Peculiar fruity odor reminiscent of ripe
apples, or more like the overwhelmingly
choking odor of apples stored in a warehouse,
almost a "fermented" apple odor.
Fresh-fruity taste, reminiscent of apple rind.
Also of raspberry.
Finds extensive use of 3-Methylbutyl 3-methylbutanoate in flavor compositions,
primarily in imitation Apple, and in the related "wine" or "Champagne" type imitation
flavors for soft candy, beverages, etc. Further
as a modifier in imitation Apricot, Banana,
Cherry, Honey, Peach, Pineapple, Mango,
Raspberry, Strawberry, Walnut - and in combination flavors such as Cream Soda, Tutti.
frutti, Rum and in Vanilla.
A specific use is the application in imitation
Gooseberry flavor. Concentrations are usually
around 50-60 ppm, except in chewing gum,
where it may be as high as 400 ppm. (Calculated on functional consumer product).
Description
Isoamyl isovalerate has a characteristic fruity odor and a sweet apple-like flavor. May be prepared by passing vapors of isoamyl alcohol and isovaleric aldehyde over a copper uranium based catalyst at 240 - 280°C in the presence of hydrogen.
