Common Name | Hexyl propionate |
---|
Description | Hexyl propionate, also known as fema 2576, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboxylic acid esters. These are carboxylic acid derivatives in which the carbon atom from the carbonyl group is attached to an alkyl or an aryl moiety through an oxygen atom (forming an ester group). Hexyl propionate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Hexyl propionate is a fruity, green, and melon tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Hexyl propionate has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as apples, asian pears, and sweet cherries. This could make hexyl propionate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Hexyl propionate was first documented in 1982 (PMID: 24414891). A propanoate ester of hexan-1-ol (PMID: 21892724). |
