Propyl 2-methylbutyrate is an ester compound that has been found to be a major component of the volatile organic compounds in beer. It is produced by the yeast during fermentation and contributes to the characteristic flavor of beer. This compound can also be found in other alcoholic beverages, such as wine and sake. Propyl 2-methylbutyrate can also be detected by various analytical methods, including high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC), and mass spectrometry. The most efficient method for detecting this compound is solid phase microextraction (SPME). The chemical profile of propyl 2-methylbutyrate includes an ester group, which contains a carbonyl group with two hydrocarbon chains attached to it. In addition, it has a methyl group on one side of the carbonyl group and a butyrate group on the other side.
