Overview of Butyl Butyrate

Butyl Butyrate is a transparent, colourless liquid that has a sweet flavour that resembles pineapple. It's an ester made by the combination of butyric acid and butanol, which is found naturally in certain fruits like bananas, apples and even strawberries. It is known for its fruity flavour. Butyl Butyrate is used extensively in the fragrance, flavour, drinks, food, and cosmetic sectors. It's insoluble with water; however, it is easily soluble in oils, alcohols and organic solvents, which makes it a great solvent for mixing into formulas.
