| Common Name | Pentyl formate |
|---|
| Description | Pentyl formate, also known as amyl methanoate or fema 2068, 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). Pentyl formate is an earthy, ethereal, and fruity tasting compound. Pentyl formate is found, on average, in the highest concentration in cow milk. Pentyl formate has also been detected, but not quantified, in a few different foods, such as alcoholic beverages, strawberries, garden tomatoes, fried cured pork, cognac and honey. |
