Chemical Information
FooDB Name1-Pentanol
DescriptionWidely distributed in plant sources, e.g. peppermint oil, tomatoes, tea, potatoes. Flavouring ingredient 1-Pentanol, (or n-pentanol, pentan-1-ol), is an alcohol with five carbon atoms and the molecular formula C5H12O. 1-Pentanol is a colorless liquid with an unpleasant aroma. There are 7 other structural isomers of pentanol (see amyl alcohol). The ester formed from butanoic acid and 1-pentanol, pentyl butyrate, smells like apricot. The ester formed from acetic acid and 1-pentanol, amyl acetate (pentyl acetate), smells like banana. 1-Pentanol is found in many foods, some of which are potato, pineapple, rosemary, and blackcurrant.
