Use | mainly used for the preparation of food flavor occasionally used in cosmetics flavor, in order to increase the diffusion power of head flavor. Can be used in a large number of food flavors, mainly in the apple, pineapple and rum. It is also good to use its fruit aroma in gum. It is also occasionally used for tobacco flavor. GB 2760-96 provides for the permitted use of flavorants. Mainly used for the preparation of apple, pineapple and a variety of fruit flavor. ethyl isovalerate is a food flavor permitted by the hygienic standard for the use of food additives in China. It is mainly used for the preparation of pineapple, apple, lemon, grape and other fruit-based food flavors. 80 ~ 430mg/kg of gum, 29mg/kg of candy, 27mg/kg of baked goods, 7.5mg/kg of cold drinks, 5.0mg/kg of pudding; 4.9mg/kg in soft drinks. This product has similar Apple, Mulberry aroma, used as essential oil, spices, artificial fruit flavor, can also be used in food and tobacco. This product can also be used as a solvent. |
production method | is industrially derived from the reaction of isovaleric acid and ethanol catalyzed by sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid. It can also be obtained by heating isobutyronitrile, ethanol and sulfuric acid under reflux for 10 hours, separating the ester layer and fractionating it. The product was obtained by direct esterification of isovaleric acid with ethanol under sulfuric acid catalysis, after the reaction mixture was cooled, neutralized with sodium carbonate, washed with water, dried and fractionated. (CH3) 2ch2cooh CH3CH2OH[H2SO4]→(CH3) 2ch2cooch2ch3 H2O can also be treated with isobutyronitrile and ethanol under sulfuric acid catalysis, heated to reflux for 10h, neutralized and washed with water, the ester layer was separated and fractionated to obtain the final product. obtained by esterification of isovaleric acid with ethanol in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid followed by distillation. |
