Use | is widely used in various foods, beverages, wine and tobacco flavor in suitable for special rose flavor and flower fruit flavor base (cosmetics), but the dosage should be small. It can also be used as a masking agent for the bad breath of industrial products. Mainly used for food flavor, such as pineapple, banana, apple, cherry, peach, apricot, grape, rum, cream, cheese caramel, walnut, Berry, etc. Tobacco, wine flavor is also used. GB 2760-96 provides for the permitted use of flavorants. Mainly used for the preparation of pineapple, grape, rum, strawberry flavor. ethyl butyrate is a kind of edible flavor that is allowed to be used by our country. It is commonly used in the preparation of apple, banana, pineapple and other fruit flavor, and also can be used for the flavor of cream flavor. Dosage according to the normal production needs, the general use level in chewing gum is about 1400mg/kg; 98mg/kg in candy; 93mg/kg in baked food; 44mg/kg in ice cream; 28 mg/kg in soft drinks. The product has fruit and pineapple aroma, and has a base aroma. In the spice industry, it is used to prepare the essence of fruits (apricot, peach, pineapple, melon, etc.) and the essence of wine (laolang wine). In addition, rose oil flavor, tobacco flavor is also used. Ethyl butyrate is industrially used as a solvent to dissolve nitrocellulose and a variety of natural or synthetic resins. solvent. Spices. used as standard substance and solvent for chromatographic analysis, and also used in perfume industry |
production method | is obtained by esterification of butyric acid with ethanol in the presence of sulfuric acid. ethyl butyrate is naturally found in olive oil and strawberry juice and is produced industrially from butyric acid and ethanol. 18kg of butyric acid, 20kg of anhydrous ethanol and 200ml of concentrated sulfuric acid were added to the reaction vessel, and the reaction was heated to reflux for 12h. After cooling, it was washed with water, then neutralized with 5% Na2CO3 solution, and then washed with water until neutral. 1kg of anhydrous calcium chloride was added, dried, filtered and distilled, and the fraction at 119 to 121 ° C. Was collected to obtain 10kg of ethyl butyrate. C3H7COOH + C2H5OH[H2SO4] → C3H7COOC2H5 + H2O It is obtained by heating esterification with N-butyric acid and ethanol catalyzed by sulfuric acid or magnesium chloride followed by distillation. From N-butyric acid and ethanol in the presence of catalyst (CuO + UO3) by high temperature gas phase synthesis. |
