use | used for fruit-flavored edible flavors such as apricot, pear, strawberry, etc., can also be used as extractant and flavoring, and can also be used as a solvent for nitrocellulose and resin It can be used as a new head fragrance and used in flavors with flower and fruit fragrance. Mainly used for edible flavors, such as apricots, strawberries, Rubus, pineapple, raw pears, apples, bananas, plums, peaches, rum and other types. GB 2760-96 specifies edible spices that are allowed to be used. It is mainly used to prepare apricot, pineapple, banana and rum flavors. It is used to blend apple flavor, pineapple flavor, pear flavor, strawberry flavor and other flavors. It is also used for artificial flower essential oil. Used as cold food, bread and chewing gum spices. It can also be used as a solvent to dissolve nitrocellulose, nitro fiber paint, resin, etc. Used as solvent and extractant solvent. Extractants and spices. |
production method | it is prepared by esterification reaction with propionic acid and isoamyl alcohol as raw materials and sulfuric acid as catalyst. Operation examples: 3kg of propionic acid, 2.3kg of isoamyl alcohol and 250g of sulfuric acid are mixed evenly, heated and refluxed for 8h. After cooling, the lower sulfuric acid solution is separated out, washed twice with water, then washed once with 10% sodium carbonate, and finally washed once with water. The separated water layer is dried with 10% potassium carbonate, and fractionated to collect 159-162 ℃ fractions as finished products. It is made by esterification of propionic acid and isoamyl alcohol under the catalysis of sulfuric acid. |
