 |  | 4-Ethyloctanoic acid Usage And Synthesis |  
 | Occurrence | Reported present in boiled and cooked mutton, ewe fat, heated lamb and mutton fat, lamb fat, raw lamb and
goat and sheep cheese. |  | Uses | Five sulfur-containing flavor compounds were synthesized by the reaction of 4-ethyloctanoyl chloride with sulfur-containing alcohols or mercaptans. 4-ethyloctanoic acid is identified from flue-cured Virginia tobacco. Mainly used as daily flavor,food flavor,industrial flavor, nutrient, stabilizers, surfactants and emulsifiers. |  | Definition | ChEBI: 4-Ethyloctanoic acid is a medium-chain fatty acid. |  | Aroma threshold values | Detection: 1.8 ppb |
