| | Cyclohexyl formate Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | Cyclohexyl formate has a pleasant, cherry-like odor. | | Uses | Cyclohexyl Formate is a synthetic flavoring agent that is a moder-
ately stable, colorless liquid of fruity odor. it should be stored in
glass or tin containers. it is used in apple or plum flavors and gives
a lift to fruity flavors. it has application in beverages, candy, ice
cream, and baked goods at 3–11 ppm. | | Definition | ChEBI: Cyclohexyl formate is a carboxylic ester. | | Preparation | From cyclohexyl alcohol and concentrated formic acid in the presence of sulfuric acid; by distilling the alcohol–acid
mixture in the presence of excess acid. | | Taste threshold values | Taste characteristics at 30 ppm: slightly cooling, green and fruity banana. | | Synthesis Reference(s) | Canadian Journal of Chemistry, 65, p. 2461, 1987 DOI: 10.1139/v87-411
