Colorless oily liquid.
Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Fruity-floral-herbaceous, refreshing and moderately tenacious odor. More delicate and clean than the n-butyrate, not as harsh-herbaceous.
Heavy-fruity, nondescript type flavor in concentrations below 40 ppm.
This ester finds a little use in perfume compositions of Rose, Lavender and Geranium types. It is particularly useful in soap perfumes because of its outstanding stability in alkaline media.
Small amounts are used in various fruit flavor compositions, in concentrations equal to about 2 to 15 ppm in the finished products.
Produced by azeotropic type esterification of Terpineol with iso-Butyric acid.
