introduction | ethyl nonanoate is a colorless, transparent liquid with strong grape fragrance. Relative density 0.8799(15°C). Boiling point 213-214°C(100.9kPa). 1.4214 refractive index (20°C). Insoluble in water, soluble in ethanol, ether, acetone. It can be used for edible essence. |
Preparation | Ethyl nonanoate can be obtained by the reaction of nonanoic acid and ethanol under sulfuric acid catalysis, and the finished product is obtained by neutralization, water washing and distillation. |
flavors and fragrances | ethyl nonanoate is also known as ethyl hydrangea. It is naturally found in pineapples, bananas and apples. It has a rose aroma, as well as a fruity and wine aroma. The appearance is colorless and transparent liquid. Molecular weight 186.30. Freezing point -44 ℃. Boiling point 220 ℃. Relative density 0.866 (18/4 ℃). 1.4219 refractive index. Flash point 94 ℃. Soluble in alcohol and ether, insoluble in water. It has a grape aroma and is often used to prepare edible flavors and spices for wine and whisky. It can also be used as a tonic for floral flavors. It is obtained by esterification of nonanoic acid and ethanol in the presence of sulfuric acid. Ethyl nonanoate is recognized as GRAS by FEMA, FEMA number 2447, and is approved by FDA for consumption. The European Council also includes ethyl nonanoate in the list of artificial edible spices that can be used in food without harming human health. Its ADI value is 1 mg/kg. According to relevant data, acute toxicity data of ethyl nonanoate: oral LD50>43g/kg (rats), skin test LD50>5g/kg (rabbits). |
content analysis | determined by method 2 in ester determination method (OT-18). The sample amount taken is 1.5g. The equivalent factor (e) in the calculation is 93.15. It should be determined by non-polar column method in GT-10-4. |
