Isovaleric Acid

CAS：503-74-2

Molecular formula：C5H10O2

Molecular weight：102.13

Physicochemical properties: It has unpleasant rancidity smell and sweat smell. Colorless viscous liquid. Soluble in water (1 / 24), ethanol, ether and chloroform.

Application: It is used in the production of bromoisovalerylurea, a sedative and hypnotic drug. However, it is more used in the production of spices (accounting for 80% of the total boiling volume in Japan). Isovalerate used as perfume mainly includes hexyl isovalerate, propyl isovalerate, isoamyl isovalerate, tauryl isovalerate, benzyl isovalerate and cinnamyl isovalerate. Lower isovalerate esters are used as edible spices, and higher isovalerate esters are used in cosmetics. Isovaleric acid is naturally stored in valerian oil, vanilla oil, hops oil, laurel leaf oil, spearmint oil, etc. it is an edible flavor allowed in GB2760-86 of China. It is mainly used to make cheese and cream flavors, and also to be used in fruit flavor.

Properties

It is used to produce the sedative hypnotic bromoisoamyl urea. But it is more used in the production of spices (80% of the total amount of de boiling in Japan). The main isovalerate used as perfume are hexyl isovalerate, propyl isovalerate, isoamyl isovalerate, geranyl isovalerate, benzyl isovalerate and cinnamyl isovalerate. The lower isovalerates are used as food flavors, and the higher isovalerates are used in cosmetics. Isovaleric acid exists naturally in valerian oil, vanilla oil, hops oil, laurel leaf oil, spearmint oil and so on. It is a kind of edible flavor permitted by GB2760-86. It is mainly used to make cheese and cream flavors, and also to be used in fruit flavor. It is used to make medicine, spice, condiment, etc.
