Colorless liquid.
Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Overall fruity, but has a nondescript floral note, remotely reminiscent of Phenoxyethyl isobutyrate. The Cyclohexyl butyrate is, however, much more powerful in its odor, and less tenacious.
Used in flavor compositions for imitation Apple, Apricot, Banana, Peach, Strawberry, etc.
Rarely used in perfumery. Could find some use in delicate floral fragrances such as Peony, Sweet Pea, Appleblossom, Magnolia and in powerful bases such as Jasmin.
Concentration in the finished product is normally only traces, but may be about 35 ppm in baked goods.
Produced by azeotropic esterification of Cyclohexanol with n-Butyric acid.
