Isoamyl acetate is a synthetic ester compound (chemical formula: C₇H₁₄O₂) naturally found in fruits such as bananas, pears, and apples, and is a key ingredient in imparting their characteristic aroma. As a classic synthetic flavoring and industrial raw material, it boasts a rich, banana-like aroma, combined with excellent volatility and solubility. It is widely used in the food, cosmetic, and industrial sectors, making it a versatile compound that combines both economical and practical applications.
Chemical Composition: A single chemical substance, typically with a purity of ≥98% (industrial/food grade). Its chemical name is 3-methylbutyl acetate, free of complex components and possessing a stable structure.
Physical Properties: At room temperature, it is a colorless, transparent liquid with a strong, pure banana aroma (commonly known as the core aroma component of "banana water"). Its boiling point is approximately 142°C, and its flash point is 33°C. It is volatile and poorly soluble in water, but miscible with organic solvents such as ethanol and oils.
Chemical Properties: It exhibits excellent stability, resists decomposition in neutral and slightly acidic environments, and withstands normal processing temperatures (suitable for stable use in food baking, household chemical production, and other applications). It undergoes hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids and bases, producing isopentanol and acetic acid.
