Ethyl 2-cyclohexylpropionate

Ethyl 2-cyclohexylpropionate (CAS 2511-00-4), also known commercially as Poirenate, is a synthetic ester used in flavor and fragrance formulation. It delivers a fresh, fruity, pear-like character that perfumers and flavorists target for specific olfactive profiles.

In food and beverage flavoring, it contributes a distinctive pear and green-fruity note to confectionery, beverages, and dairy-based products where natural pear character is required. Fragrance houses incorporate it into fine fragrance and functional fragrance compositions.

In personal care, it appears in rinse-off and leave-on product formulations such as shampoos, body washes, and lotions where a light fruity top note is desired. Its stability in finished formulations also makes it suitable for use in scented household and air care products.

Ethyl 2-cyclohexylpropionate is supplied as a clear liquid. It is available in flavor and fragrance grade, meeting purity standards appropriate for use in food-contact and cosmetic applications. Packaging typically ranges from small drums to bulk quantities depending on the supplier.

The material is manufactured to meet rigorous quality benchmarks, ensuring consistency across batches for industrial use. Documentation is provided to support compliance for food and personal care end markets, ensuring safety and regulatory alignment for global distribution.
