Appearance

Colorless liquid.

Solubility

Almost insoluble in water, miscible with alcohol, essential oils and perfume and flavor chemicals.

Odor

Slightly pungent, fatty-fruity odor reminiscent of Pineapple, Rum, Arak, remotely of Peach. Less ethereal, but more natural Pineapple-like than Methyl caproate.

Flavor

Fruity-fatty and vinous-sweet, Pineapple-like taste. Aqueous solutions of about 20 to 50 ppm should not show a pungent taste.

Uses in perfumery

The ester finds some use in perfumery as part of a fruity topnote complex in fragrance types such as Miss Dior, Intimate, Cabochard, Ma Griffe, etc. In combination with green and mossy notes, it may form a characteristic part of such fragrance types. It also tends to round off the predominant Aldehyde-notes in combination with Styrallyl esters.

Uses in flavor

Originally a flavor material, it has found extensive use in Apple, Apricot, Arak, Orange, Peach, Pineapple, Rum, Strawberry, “Tutti-frutti”, etc. It formed the major part of a “specialty” marketed under the name “Aldehyde C.20 - Pineapple”. Generally used as a modifier in fruit flavors (imitation). Concentration: up to 30 ppm in candy, and up to 200 ppm in chewing gum.
