Fruity-floral odor, somewhat fresher than that of the n-Butyrate, not as heavy.

Flavor

Relatively powerful, floral-fruity, berry-like taste.

Useful in fruity-spicy-herbaceous fragrance types, in Gardenia, Jasmin, Rose bases, etc. in trace amounts, or in higher concentration if used as a modifier for Benzyl acetate.

Uses in flavor

Occasionally used in flavor compositions, mainly in imitation Banana, Raspberry, Strawberry, and in 'Tutti-frutti' flavor.

Production

Produced from iso-Butyric acid and Benzyl alcohol by direct esterification using azeotropic conditions.
