Natural Product Identification
Common NameButyl laurate
DescriptionButyl dodecanoate, also known as butyl laurate or fema 2206, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty acid esters. These are carboxylic ester derivatives of a fatty acid. Butyl dodecanoate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Butyl dodecanoate is a fruity, oily, and peanut tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Butyl dodecanoate has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as alcoholic beverages, fruits, and pomes. Butyl laurate is found in Mandragora autumnalis . This could make butyl dodecanoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
