CAS 540-07-8
:Pentyl hexanoate
Description:
Pentyl hexanoate, with the CAS number 540-07-8, is an ester formed from the reaction of pentanol and hexanoic acid. It is characterized by its pleasant fruity aroma, often associated with flavors and fragrances in the food and cosmetic industries. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its low volatility and moderate solubility in water, while being more soluble in organic solvents. Pentyl hexanoate has a relatively low boiling point compared to larger esters, which makes it suitable for applications requiring lower evaporation rates. Its chemical structure consists of a pentyl group (derived from pentanol) attached to a hexanoate moiety, contributing to its unique sensory properties. Additionally, pentyl hexanoate is considered non-toxic and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in food products, although it should be handled with care in industrial settings due to its potential irritant properties. Overall, its sensory characteristics and safety profile make it a valuable compound in various applications.
