Chemical Information
FooDB NameHexyl 2-methylpropanoate
DescriptionHexyl 2-methylpropanoate, also known as Hexyl isobutyrate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboxylic acid esters. These are carboxylic acid derivatives in which the carbon atom from the carbonyl group is attached to an alkyl or an aryl moiety through an oxygen atom (forming an ester group). Hexyl 2-methylpropanoate is neutral compound. Hexyl 2-methylpropanoate has a sweet, apple, and berry taste. Hexyl 2-methylpropanoate is found in highest concentrations in milk (cow). Hexyl 2-methylpropanoate has also been detected in evergreen blackberries. This could make hexyl 2-methylpropanoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Hexyl 2-methylpropanoate is also found in giant hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum) essential oil (PMID: 30682808).
