A bright, juicy fruity-green aroma chemical with a distinct crisp apple and pear character, edged with a fresh wine-like nuance. Slightly aromatic and lightly aldehydic in feel, it lends a natural, dewy fruit lift to top and heart accords.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Colorless liquid.

Solubility

Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Powerful fruity odor of Raspberry-Apple type, but in no way a 'natural' fruit odor.

Flavor

Powerful sweet-fruity taste at concentrations below 10 ppm, and with useful effects well below that mark.

Uses in perfumery

The material could find good use in perfume compositions, where its power and sweet fruity notes blend well with Jasmin fragrances for detergents and household products.

Uses in flavor

This ester is used in flavor compositions in Europe and other countries, but it is not approved for food flavors in the U.S.A.

Production

Produced by direct esterification of Ethanol with Cyclohexane acetic acid, preferably using azeotropic conditions.
