Natural Product Identification
Common NamePentyl acetate
DescriptionPentyl acetate, also known as amyl acetic ester or amyl acetic acid, 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). Pentyl acetate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Pentyl acetate is a banana, ethereal, and fruity tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Pentyl acetate has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as evergreen blackberries, papaya, peachs, cocoa beans, and asian pears. This could make pentyl acetate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Pentyl acetate is found in Akebia trifoliata, Fragaria ananassa and Polygala senega. An acetate ester of pentanol.
