Description	Ethyl butyrate is an ester soluble in propylene glycol, paraffin oil, and kerosene. It has a fruity odor, similar to pineapple. Ethyl butyrate is present in many fruits e.g. apple, apricot, banana, plum, tangerine etc.
Description	Ethyl butyrate, also known as ethyl butanoate, or butyric ether, is an ester with the chemical formula CH3CH2CH2COO.CH2CH3.It is soluble in propylene glycol, paraffin oil, and kerosene.It has a fruity odor, similar to pineapple.
Chemical Properties	Ethyl Butyrate occurs in fruits and alcoholic beverages, but also in other foods such as cheese. It has a fruity odor, reminiscent of pineapples. Large amounts are used in perfume and in flavor compositions.
Chemical Properties	Ethyl butyrate is a colorless liquid. Pineapple odor. The Odor Threshold is 0.015 ppm.
Chemical Properties	colourless liquid with a fruity odour
Chemical Properties	Ethyl butyrate has a fruity odor with pineapple undertone and sweet, analogous taste.
Occurrence	Identified by gas chromatography in olive oil and other vegetable oils. Reported found in apple, banana, citrus peel oils and juices, cranberry, blueberry, black currants, guava, grapes, papaya, strawberry, onion, leek, cheeses, chicken, beef, beer, cognac, rum, whiskies, cider, sherry, grape wines, coffee, honey, soybeans, olives, passion fruit, plums, mushroom, mango, fruit brandies, kiwifruit, mussels and pawpaw.
Uses	It is commonly used as artificial flavoring resembling orange juice or pineapple in alcoholic beverages (e.g. martinis, daiquiris etc.), as a solvent in perfumery products, and as a plasticizer for cellulose. In addition, ethyl butyrate is often also added to orange juice, as most associate its odor with that of fresh orange juice.
