Ethyl octanoate (octanoic acid ethyl ester) is a colorless, fruity-smelling ethyl ester used as a flavor and fragrance ingredient, solvent, and reagent in chemical and biochemical applications. It is commonly used in organic synthesis, analytical workflows, and formulation work where a medium-chain fatty acid ester is required.
- High purity appropriate for analytical and synthetic use (typical purity ~99.9%).
- Colorless liquid with a characteristic fruity odor.
- Solvent properties suitable for organic synthesis and formulation.
- Used as a flavor and fragrance component and as a biochemical reagent.
- Available in lab-scale pack sizes for research use.
