Applications
Isopentyl 3-methylpentanoate is an ester of isovaleric acid and isopentyl alcohol, widely used in fragrance and flavor applications to impart fruity, light aroma notes; in perfumery it serves as a fragrance ingredient and odorant, and in the flavor sector it may be used as a flavor additive for foods and beverages; in cosmetics and personal care as well as in household products and cleaners it contributes to scent formulations; it can also act as an intermediate in the synthesis of fragrance compounds for industrial manufacturing; its use is typically subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
