| Methyl heptanoate Usage And Synthesis |
Description | Methyl 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 Properties | Methyl heptanoate has a strong, almost fruity, orris-like odor and currant-like flavor. | Chemical Properties | clear colorless liquid | Occurrence | Reported 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
