Description

General description

Hexyl acetate is a volatile aroma compound that occurs naturally in pears, peaches, strawberries, apples and roses.

Application

• Bioprospecting of sourdough microbial species from artisan bakeries in the city of Valencia.: Investigating microbial diversity in sourdough, this study identifies hexyl acetate as a key volatile contributing to the unique flavors of artisan bread. The research underscores the importance of microbial bioprospecting in enhancing food flavors and textures (Sanmartín et al., 2024).


• Bioactivities of scent gland chemicals from Mictis fuscipes Hsiao (Hemiptera: Coreidae) on Solenopsis invicta Buren (Hymenoptera: Formicidae).: This study details the defensive chemical strategies of Mictis fuscipes, focusing on hexyl acetate′s role in repelling predators and pests. Such insights are valuable for developing natural pest control methods and understanding ecological interactions (Zhong et al., 2024).
