| Introduction | butyl butyryl lactate is a colorless liquid with a soft cream and bread aroma. Flash point 100 °c, 1ml sample dissolved in 3ml 70% ethanol, soluble in propylene glycol and most non-volatile oils, still poorly soluble in water and glycerol. It has a cream, milk aroma and wax, Green. |
| preparation method | butyl lactate is directly acetylated with butyric anhydride in the presence of sulfuric acid. |
| Use | China GB2760-86 regulations for the allowed use of edible spices. It is mainly for the preparation of vanilla, cream and other flavors. GB 2760-1996 provides for the permitted use of flavorants. Mainly for the preparation of vanilla, cream and other flavors. for the blend of food flavors, with soft cream aroma |
