Isoamyl decanoate

Isoamyl decanoate (CAS 2306-91-4), also known as isopentyl decanoate, is a medium-chain fatty acid ester used as a flavoring agent and emollient carrier in food and cosmetic applications.

Where is Isoamyl decanoate used?

• Food flavoring: fruity, waxy top notes in confectionery, beverages and dairy formulations
• Cosmetics: skin-feel modifier and carrier oil in serums, sunscreens and color cosmetics
• Perfumery: solvent for lipophilic fragrance compounds in leave-on and rinse-off products
• Lipstick and lip gloss: diluent for pigment dispersions and wax systems
• It delivers a mild, fruity character that blends cleanly into complex flavor and fragrance systems.

Good to know: Its ester structure also makes it effective as a non-polar solvent and carrier for active ingredients. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain chemical stability and shelf life.
