Description

Geranyl butyrate is a fatty acid that is used as an additive in food production. It is a colorless liquid that has a pleasant odor and taste, and is soluble in both water and alcohol. Geranyl butyrate can be used to increase the air content of foods with high fat content such as butter, margarine, or salad dressings. It also functions as an emulsifier and stabilizer by increasing the viscosity of these types of products. Sodium citrate can be combined with geranyl butyrate to produce sodium propionate, which is used as a preservative in food production. Geranyl butyrate may also have biological effects on mitochondria because it contains a cytochrome P450 enzyme-catalyzing activity.
