Appearance

Colorless oily liquid.

Solubility

Practically insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Mild, but tenacious, sweet, green-fruity, warm-herbaceous odor.

Flavor

Sweet, mildly green herbaceous-fruity, very pleasant taste in concentrations near 5 ppm.

Uses in perfumery

The author has no report of its use in perfume compositions, but it could undoubtedly find use in Fougéres, Chypres, Oriental fragrance types, etc. as a modifier, and in top-note compositions as a novel type fixative for green-fruity topnotes.

Uses in flavor

This ester is used in flavor compositions as a modifier and blender in Apple, Tobacco, Strawberry, Plum and many other fruit types, but always at very low concentration, about 1 ppm in the finished product, often much lower.

Production

Produced by azeotropic esterification of Phenylethyl methyl carbinol with iso-Valeric acid.
