Colorless liquid.
Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol, propylene glycol and oils.
Sweet, oily-waxy and fruity-herbaceous odor, overall a relatively pleasant complex with many notes resembling food or condiment products.
It finds some use in flavor compositions, e.g. in honey, pineapple, various berry compositions, citrus complexes, melon, champignon, etc., but normally at very low concentrations — equal to 0.5 to 5 ppm in the functional product.
This ester has been suggested as a supporting note in warm-herbaceous and floral herbaceous fragrance types, and it blends very well in lavender, lavandin, rosemary, juniperberry, myrtle, laurel and bayleaf oils.
Produced by azeotropic esterification of n-octanol with propionic acid.
