General description

Isoamyl isovalerate is an apple flavor volatile compound mainly found in apple and banana. It is used as a flavoring agent in chewing gums, candies and baked goods.

Application


  • Evaluation of PTR-ToF-MS as a tool to track the behavior of hop-derived compounds during the fermentation of beer.: This study discusses the use of isoamyl isovalerate in tracking fermentation processes, impacting flavor development in beer production (Richter et al., 2018).
