Colorless oily liquid.
Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and perfume and flavor materials.
Its odor is extremely faint, oily-fatty, dependent upon the quality of the parent Laurie acid.
Occasionally used as a fixative, more often as a solvent in perfume compositions. It has excellent properties as a solvent for resins, resinoids, gums, oleoresins, etc., and for poorly soluble crystalline perfume materials (nitromusks, etc.).
The ester is occasionally used in flavor compositions, mainly for special effects (fatty-fruity notes) in Peach and similar flavors. It is also used generally in fruit flavor compositions and for liqueur flavorings.
Produced by direct esterification.
