CAS 638-25-5

Pentyl octanoate

Description:

Pentyl octanoate, with the CAS number 638-25-5, is an ester formed from pentanol and octanoic acid. It is characterized by its pleasant fruity odor, which makes it useful in the flavor and fragrance industry. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is known for its low volatility and relatively high boiling point compared to smaller esters. Pentyl octanoate is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Its molecular structure consists of a pentyl group (derived from pentanol) attached to an octanoate group, contributing to its unique properties. In addition to its applications in food flavoring, it may also be used in cosmetics and personal care products. Safety data indicates that, while generally regarded as safe in low concentrations, it should be handled with care to avoid potential irritation. Overall, pentyl octanoate exemplifies the characteristics typical of medium-chain fatty acid esters, combining pleasant sensory attributes with functional utility in various industries.
