  <name>Methyl hexanoate</name>
  <description>Methyl hexanoate, also known as Hexanoic acid, methyl ester, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty acid methyl esters. Fatty acid methyl esters are compounds containing a fatty acid that is esterified with a methyl group. Methyl hexanoate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. Methyl hexanoate is a sweet, ether, and fresh tasting compound. It has been detected, but not quantified, in several different foods, such as garden tomato, cereals and cereal products, potato, blackberries, and pineapples. It is also present in wine grapes, melon, raspberry, blackberry, plum, quince, apple brandy, wines, bourbon vanilla, coffee, black tea, potato, tomato, cheeses, rye bread, meats and other foodstuffs.</description>
