Metabolite Identification
Common NamePentyl butanoate
DescriptionPentyl butanoate is found in apple. Pentyl butanoate is found in banana, apple and apricot fruits. Pentyl butanoate is used in food flavouring Pentyl butyrate, also known as pentyl butanoate or amyl butyrate, is an ester that is formed when pentanol is reacted with butyric acid, usually in the presence of sulfuric acid as a catalyst. This ester has a smell reminiscent of pear or apricot. This chemical is used as an additive in cigarettes.
