General description

Ethyl butyrate is mainly used as a flavor ester for its pineapple-like flavor.[1] It is one of the main volatile components identified in orange juices.[2]
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one of the four categories of Greener Alternatives . This product is a Biobased products, showing key improvements in Green Chemistry Principles “Less Hazardous Chemical Syntheses” and “Use of Renewable Feedstock”.

Application


  • Tracer aroma compound transfer from a solid and complex-flavored food matrix packed in treated papers or plastic packaging film.: Investigates the transfer dynamics of aroma compounds from food products, essential for optimizing food packaging materials to preserve flavor integrity (Dury-Brun C et al., 2007).

We realize a biochemical filtering process by introducing a buffer in a biocatalytic signal-transduction logic system based on the function of an enzyme, esterase. The input, ethyl butyrate, is converted into butyric acid--the output signal, which in turn is measured
