General description

Pentyl propionate is a linear ester. It is formed during the in vivo recombinant MpAAT1 volatile trapping experiments, using pentanol as substrate. It has been identified as one of the volatile compound emitted by the ′Gala′ apples after regular (RA) or controlled atmosphere (CA) storage by gas chromatography-olfactometry technique.

application

Pentyl propionate, an ester, has been employed for the evaluation of experimental values of HEm and VEm at 318.15K for the binary mixtures of alkyl propanoates with alkanes.

Apple flavor is characterized by combinations of ester compounds, which increase markedly during fruit ripening. The final step in ester biosynthesis is catalyzed by alcohol acyl transferases (AATs) that use coenzyme A (CoA) donors together with alcohol acceptors as substrates.
