It is perhaps one of the most commonly used ester. It is small enough in
molecular weight to yield a significant vapor pressure, ergo a good
lift and impact.
Ethyl butyrate is a natural product of certain plants and has been
detected in the volatile components from the following natural foods: US
blue cheese, Beaufort mountain cheese, dalieb fruit, ripening bananas,
commercial and concentrated aqueous orange essence, concord grape
essence, tree-ripened nectarines and ripening kiwi fruit.
Ethyl butyrate has a fruity odor with a pineapple undernote and a sweet
and analogous taste. It is virtually insoluble in water, but soluble in
alcohol.
This ester was granted GRAS status by FEMA (1965) and is approved as
GRAS by the FDA for food use. It is used in many sweet products as an
important aroma chemical. Ethyl butyrate finds its most usefulness in
cherry flavors, rum and butterscotch flavors, apple flavors and chewing
gum flavors.
