use | isoamyl butyrate is a edible spice allowed in our country. it is often used to prepare fruit-flavored edible flavors such as apples and bananas and to flavor rum. the dosage is 570 mg/kg in chewing gum according to normal production requirements. 79 mg/kg in candy; 5lmg/kg in baked food; 34 mg/kg in cold drinks; 13mg/kg in soft drinks. GB 2760-96 stipulates edible spices that are allowed to be used. Mainly used to prepare bananas, pineapples, apricots, cherries and assorted fruits. It is widely used to prepare various fruit juice flavors, such as apricot, banana, pear, apple and other flavors solvents. Organic synthesis. |
Production method | It is obtained by heating esterification of isoamyl alcohol and n-butyric acid in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid or Twitchell reagent and fractionation refining. heteropolytungstic acid catalytic method: add 0.121mol isoamyl alcohol and 0.1lmol butyric acid, 0.15g heteropolytungstic acid, 5mL benzene and zeolite into a 100mL flask, and refluxing at 122~132 ℃ for 1.5h to obtain the finished product, and the esterification rate can reach 97.8%. Sulfuric acid catalytic method successively added isoamyl alcohol, butyric acid and sulfuric acid into the reaction kettle, heating reflux reaction for several hours. After cooling, it is neutralized with 10% NaOH solution, then washed to neutral with water, and finally dried with anhydrous calcium chloride and distilled under reduced pressure to obtain the product.
