Application

2-Methylbutyrate, also known as dl-2-methylbutyric acid or α,β-methylbutyrate, is a natural product with a sweet fruity, ester-like, green, and waxy aroma. Its flavor profile is sweet, fruity, jackfruit-like, green, waxy, and woody. It is used in the formulation of food flavorings such as jackfruit, peach, candied ice cream, apple, grape, banana, melon, and berry flavorings, as well as in the blending of cosmetic flavorings.

Description

2-Methylbutyl 2-methylbutyrate is like fruit, berry, and apple. May be prepared by esterification of 2-methylbutanoic acid with 2-methyl-1-butanol; by condensation of isobutyraldehyde at 120°C.

Chemical Properties

2-Methylbutyl-2-methyl butyrate has a fruity, berry, apple like aroma.

Occurrence

Reported found as a component in the essential oil of hops (Humulus lupulus); also as the odorous component in Vaccinium vitis-idaea and in cocoa beans. Also reported found in apple, apricot, feyoa fruit (Feijoa sellowiana), melon, peppermint oil, spearmint oil, filberts, lovage leaf, myrtle leaf and berry and Roman chamomile oil

Preparation

By esterification of 2-methylbutanoic acid with 2-methyl-1-butanol; by condensation of isobutyraldehyde at 120°C

Definition

ChEBI: 2-Methylbutyl 2-methylbutanoate is a fatty acid ester.

Taste threshold values
