Chemical Information
FooDB NameEthyl butyrate
DescriptionPresent in many fruits e.g. apple, apricot, banana, plum, tangerine etc. Flavouring ingredient Ethyl butyrate, also known as ethyl butanoate, or butyric ether, is an ester with the chemical formula CH3CH2CH2COOCH2CH3, with one oxygen having a double bond. It is soluble in propylene glycol, paraffin oil and kerosene.; It can be synthesized by reacting ethanol and butyric acid. This is a condensation reaction, meaning water is produced in the reaction as a byproduct. Ethyl butyrate is found in many foods, some of which are fig, citrus, passion fruit, and apple.
