| | Methyl 2-methylbutyrate Usage And Synthesis |
| Description | Methyl 2-methylbutyrate has a pungent, fruity odor with a sweet,
fruity, apple-like taste at low levels. May be prepared from a
mixture of esters including methyl 2-methylbutyrate; is obtained
from isobutene, CO, and methanol under pressure, or from butene,
CO, and an acid catalyst under pressure. | | Chemical Properties | Methyl-2-methylbutyrate has a sweet, fruity, apple-like odor and an apple-like taste at low concentrations. | | Occurrence | The levorotatory and the racemic forms are known. Reported found in fresh strawberry juice, apple, apricot, sour cherry, melon, pineapple, peas, baked potato, peppermint oil, spearmint oil, thymus, durian (Durio zibethinus), olive,
mushroom, starfruit, prickly pear, dill herb, cashew apple, cherimoya, loquat, mountain papaya, cape gooseberry and rooibus tea
(Aspalathus linearis). bilberry, strawberry, and cheeses | | Uses | DL-2-Methylbutyric Acid Methyl Ester is a volatile compound found in pineapples. | | Preparation | A mixture of esters including methyl-2-methylbutyrate is obtained from isobutene, CO and methanol under pressure, or
from butene, CO and an acid catalyst under pressure. | | Definition | ChEBI: Methyl (S)-2-Methylbutanoate is a fatty acid ester. | | Aroma threshold values | Detection: 0.92 to 4.4 ppb | | Taste threshold values | Taste characteristics at 7.5 ppm: sweet, berry, pineapple, etherial, lifting, fruity, tutti-fruitti and ripe with a
