Application

Ethyl Propionate is a clear, colorless liquid known for its fruity, rum-like aroma, and it plays a crucial role in the realm of flavors and fragrances. Most commonly found in various fruits and alcoholic beverages, Ethyl Propionate is utilized as a flavoring agent to impart fruity and rum notes in foods and beverages. Its versatility allows it to blend seamlessly with alcohol and propylene glycol and dissolve in fixed and mineral oils while being sparingly soluble in water. Chemically synthesized as a propanoate ester of ethanol, Ethyl Propionate is a key ingredient not only in the culinary and beverage industries but also in cosmetics. Despite its valuable contributions, it is imperative to handle Ethyl Propionate with care due to its flammable nature and potential health risks, which include liver and kidney damage and adverse effects on the heart with high exposure levels.
