Description

General description

Isoamyl acetate is the major ginjo-flavor components of Japanese sake (Ginjo-shu). It is effective in inactivating various microorganisms. Synthesis of isoamyl acetate by lipase-catalyzed transesterification of ethyl acetate in n-hexane has been reported. It is flavor-active compound present in beer.

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one of the four categories of Greener Alternatives . This product is a Biobased products, showing key improvements in Green Chemistry Principles “Less Hazardous Chemical Syntheses” and “Use of Renewable Feedstock”.

Application

• Impact of non-Saccharomyces yeasts derived from traditional fermented foods on beer aroma: Analysis based on HS-SPME-GC/MS combined with chemometrics.: This study investigates the influence of non-Saccharomyces yeasts on beer aroma using headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC/MS) and chemometric analysis. Isoamyl acetate was identified as a significant compound contributing to the aroma profile, enhancing fruity and sweet notes in the beer (Cao et al., 2024).


• Investigating the impact of various sorghum types on the key aroma compounds of Sichuan Xiaoqu Baijiu through application of the sensomics approach.: This research explores the effect of different sorghum varieties on the aroma compounds of Sichuan Xiaoqu Baijiu, a Chinese liquor. Isoamyl acetate was highlighted as a key volatile compound contributing to the characteristic fruity aroma of Baijiu (Ma et al., 2024).
