| | Propyl heptanoate Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | Propyl heptanoate has a characteristic, strong, ether-like odor with a corresponding flavor reminiscent of grape. | | Occurrence | Reported found in fresh apple and rum. | | Uses | Propyl Heptanoate is a synthetic flavoring agent that is a stable,
colorless liquid of fruity odor. it should be stored in glass, tin, or
resin-lined containers. it is used in apple flavors and modified cof-
fee. it has applications in beverages, ice cream, candy, and baked
goods at 4–18 ppm. | | Preparation | By treating heptanoic acid with propyl alcohol in the presence of mineral acids, or in benzene solution in the presence of
p-toluenesulfonic acid. | | Definition | ChEBI: Propyl heptanoate is a fatty acid ester. | | Taste threshold values | Taste characteristics at 5 to 15 ppm: sweet, waxy, fruity pineapple, pear, apple and citrus notes with a slight,
green, grassy nuance. |
