Natural Product Identification
Common NameCitronellyl butyrate
DescriptionCitronellyl butyrate, also known as E275 or fema 2312, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty alcohol esters. These are ester derivatives of a fatty alcohol. Citronellyl butyrate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Citronellyl butyrate is a sweet, floral, and fruity tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Citronellyl butyrate has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as citrus, fruits, garden tomato, and herbs and spices. Citronellyl butyrate is found in Caiman crocodilus, Cryptomeria japonica, Origanum syriacum and Pelargonium quercifolium. This could make citronellyl butyrate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
