Description

Allyl 2-Methylbutyrate is a specialized ester compound valued for its unique fruity, apple-like aroma profile. This chemical is a critical building block in the creation of complex flavor and fragrance compositions, offering perfumers and flavorists a versatile tool for achieving specific sensory notes. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance (F&F) industry, as well as by research and development laboratories focused on synthetic organic chemistry and aroma chemical synthesis.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance (F&F) Industry: A key ingredient in the formulation of fine fragrances, personal care products (soaps, lotions), and household products (detergents, air fresheners) where fruity, apple, or berry notes are desired.
• Food & Beverage Flavorings: Used as a flavoring agent in the creation of artificial flavors for candies, baked goods, beverages, and dairy products, contributing to complex fruit flavor profiles.
• Aroma Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a valuable intermediate or starting material in the multi-step synthesis of more complex fragrance molecules and specialty esters.
• Research & Development: Utilized in academic and industrial R&D settings for studying esterification reactions, olfactory receptor interactions, and the development of new synthetic methodologies.
• Cosmetic Formulations: Incorporated into cosmetic products to provide a pleasant scent, often in combination with other aroma chemicals to create signature bouquets.

Quality Control

We maintain stringent quality control protocols for our flavor and fragrance ingredients. Production of Allyl 2-Methylbutyrate adheres to relevant industry standards for purity and sensory profile consistency. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, assay, and organoleptic properties. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity (typically by GC), specific gravity, refractive index, and sensory evaluation is available upon request to support your quality assurance processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. This material is flammable and should be stored away from strong oxidizing agents.
