Natural Product Identification
Common NameGeranyl butyrate
DescriptionNeryl butyrate, also known as fema 2774 or nonyl N-butyrate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty alcohol esters. These are ester derivatives of a fatty alcohol. Neryl butyrate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Neryl butyrate is a sweet, apple, and fruity tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Neryl butyrate has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as fruits, green vegetables, wild celeries, citrus, and garden tomato. This could make neryl butyrate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Geranyl butyrate is found in Artemisia absinthium, Bothriochloa bladhii, Cryptomeria japonica, Cymbopogon martinii, Foeniculum vulgare, Origanum syriacum, Pelargonium quercifolium, Schinus molle and Thymus citriodorus. Found in citrus peel oils, kumquat peel oil, celery leaves/stalks, tomato, yellow passion fruit, lavender oil and other essential oils.
