Overview of Isovaleric Acid

Isovaleric Acid is a naturally occurring branched-chain fatty acid recognized for its strong, cheesy aroma. It is widely used in flavor and fragrance industries, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture. Found in fermented foods and essential oils, it plays a vital role in synthetic chemistry and odor formulation.

Applications of Isovaleric Acid

Flavor and Fragrance Industry: Used in synthesizing esters that impart fruity, cheesy, or fermented notes in perfumes and food flavoring.
Agricultural Use: Included in feed formulations for livestock and as an attractant in pest control.
Industrial Chemistry: Employed in esterification reactions for the production of isovalerate esters used in lubricants and plasticizers.
Adds a natural touch to formulations and complements the cleansing power of Lauramidopropylamine Oxide.

Safety Precautions When Handling Isovaleric Acid

Storage: Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from oxidizers and ignition sources.
Protective Measures: Use safety goggles, chemical-resistant gloves, and lab coats to prevent contact with skin and eyes.
Spill and Fire Precautions: Isovaleric Acid is combustible; spills should be cleaned with inert absorbent materials and disposed of properly.
