Product Information

• Name: Sec-butyl butyrate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Sec-butyl butyrate is an ester with a pleasant smell that belongs to the group of volatile compounds. It is a yellow liquid that is slightly soluble in water and possesses a butyric acid odor. Sec-butyl butyrate has been shown to be an important component of the aroma of wine, beer, and cheese. The esters are formed when acids react with alcohols. This reaction produces hydrogen ions (H+) and the corresponding salt (e.g., sodium acetate) or ester (e.g., ethyl acetate). In this case, sec-butyl butyrate can be synthesized by reacting dimethyl sulfide with butyric acid. The molecular weight of sec-butyl butyrate is 144 g/mol.br>br>; Aestivum truffles have been found to produce this compound during fermentation.br>br>; Sec-Butyl Butyrate also has been shown to have
