Propyl octanoate

Description:
Propyl octanoate, with the CAS number 624-13-5, is an ester formed from the reaction of propanol and octanoic acid. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fruity odor, often associated with tropical fruits. This compound is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic octanoate chain. Propyl octanoate is primarily used in the food industry as a flavoring agent and in the fragrance industry for its pleasant aroma. Additionally, it finds applications in the production of cosmetics and personal care products. The substance has a relatively low boiling point and a moderate vapor pressure, indicating that it can evaporate easily at room temperature. As with many esters, it is generally considered to be non-toxic, but safety precautions should be taken to avoid inhalation or prolonged skin contact. Overall, propyl octanoate is valued for its sensory properties and versatility in various industrial applications.
