| Common Name | 2-Methylpropyl butanoate |
|---|
| Description | 2-Methylpropyl butanoate, also known as butyric acid, isobutyl ester or isobutyl butanoate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty acid esters. These are carboxylic ester derivatives of a fatty acid. A butyrate ester resulting from the formal condensation of butanoic acid with isobutanol. 2-Methylpropyl butanoate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 2-Methylpropyl butanoate is a sweet, apple, and berry tasting compound. Outside of the human body, 2-Methylpropyl butanoate has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as apples, asian pears, fruits, and roman camomiles. 2-Methylpropyl butanoate is found in Mosla chinensis and Zieria murphyi. 2-Methylpropyl butanoate was first documented in 2016 (PMID: 27439360). This could make 2-methylpropyl butanoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. |
