The Uses of ALLYL CAPRYLATE
Allyl Caprylate is a synthetic flavoring agent that is a colorless to light yellow liquid and has a fruity odor. It is alkali and mineral acid unstable and should be stored in glass, tin, or resin-lined containers. It is used to give flavors a fruity note and has application in dessert gels, puddings, beverages, and candy at 3–25 ppm.
Preparation
By esterification of caprylic acid with allyl alcohol in benzene in the presence of naphthalene-β-sulfonic acid.
Definition
ChEBI: 2-Propenyl octanoate is a fatty acid ester.
Taste threshold values
Taste characteristics at 10 ppm: fatty, fruity, pineapple tropical-like
Safety Profile
Moderately toxic by ingestion. A skin irritant. See also ALLYL COMPOUNDS and ESTERS. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
