  • Applications

    Decyl butyrate (CAS 5454-09-1) is a versatile flavor and fragrance ester used to impart ripe, fruity, creamy, slightly waxy nuances that reinforce pineapple, pear, apricot/peach, banana, and broader tropical-fruit accords in foods, beverages, confectionery, baked goods, dairy-type products, flavored drinks, and chewing gum while also serving as a flavor modulator/masker; in cosmetics, personal care, and home care (fine fragrance, body sprays, shampoos, shower gels, soaps, detergents) it functions as a moderately substantive note and light fixative that improves scent longevity and smoothness, contributing the soft sensory feel typical of fatty esters; additionally, its hydrophobicity and good miscibility with aromatic solvents make it suitable for pre-blends, microencapsulation, and use as a fragrance carrier, with typical trace-to-ppm inclusion levels depending on the matrix and applicable flavor/fragrance safety regulations.
