2-Methyl butyric acid CAS#116-53-0
2-methyl butyric acid has a pungent, acrid odor which is similar to Roquefort cheese with an acrid taste. At low dilutions, it has a pleasant fruity taste. It can be prepared either by decarboxylation of methyl ethyl malonic acid or by the oxidation of fermentation amyl alcohol (fusel oil). It is used as a flavor ingredient for butter, cream, cheese flavor deployment. It also provides acyl moiety for the preparation of the respective flavor esters.2-Methylbutyric acid has a pungent, acrid odor similar to Roquefort cheese with an acrid taste. At low dilutions, it has a pleasant fruity taste. May be prepared by decarboxylation of methyl ethyl malonic acid (with heat); also by oxidation of fermentation amyl alcohol (fusel oil).
