Methyl heptanoate Usage And Synthesis
DescriptionMethyl heptanoate has a strong, almost fruity, orris-like odor with a currant-like flavor. Methyl heptanoate may be prepared by treating heptanoic acid with methyl alcohol in the presence of HCL or H2SO4.
Chemical PropertiesMethyl heptanoate has a strong, almost fruity, orris-like odor and currant-like flavor.
Chemical Propertiesclear colorless liquid
OccurrenceReported found in cranberry, papaya, pineapple, blackberry, strawberry, peas, pepper, Parmesan cheese, hop oil, white wine, olive, starfruit, malt, Bourbon vanilla, mountain papaya, endive, nectarine, lanb’s lettuce, mussel, spineless monkey orange and rooibus tea (Aspalathus linearis)
UsesHeptanoic Acid Methyl Ester is an aroma and flavor constituent in MD2 pineapple variety (Ananas comosus [L.] Merr.)
UsesMethyl heptanoate may be used as an external standard for the extraction and quantification of aroma compounds in stratch matrices using gas chromatography technique.
