Appearance

Intensely yellow, oily liquid.

Solubility

Slightly soluble in water, miscible with alcohol and oils. Soluble in propylene glycol and glycerin.

Odor

Sharp and pungent, fruity-buttery odor, sharper, fruitier and sweeter than that of the Di-n-butyryl, not as cheese-like.

Flavor

Oily buttery, somewhat sweet-fruity taste in high dilution.

Uses in flavor

Has been suggested for use in flavor compositions, but it seems to lend a sharper, harsher, less natural note than what can be obtained with the Di-n-butyryl.

Production

Produced by oxidation of iso-Butyroin (iso-Butyryl-iso-propyl carbinol).
