| | Methyl 4-phenylbutanoate Usage And Synthesis |
| Description | Methyl 4-phenylbutyrate has a powerful, sweet, fruity, floral odor.
Below 10 ppm, the flavor is extremely sweet and fruity. May be
prepared by direct esterification of γγ-butyric acid. | | Chemical Properties | Methyl 4-phenylbutyrate has a powerful, sweet, fruity, floral odor. The flavor becomes extremely sweet and fruity at
concentrations below 10 ppm | | Uses |
Methyl 4-phenylbutanoate finds some use in flavor compositions, mainly as a modifier in Strawberry imitation, where is seems to do a better job, although perhaps not with the same power-as Methyl cinnamate and Methyl-hydrocinnamate. It is also used in trace amounts in Honey imitations and in various fruit complexes.
