Description
Ethyl heptanoate (CAS 106-30-9) is a fatty acid ester also known as ethyl heptoate, ethyl heptylate, and FEMA 2437 or FEMA 2441. It carries no E-code designation and is classified under HS code 29159080. It is commercially available as a clear, colourless liquid with a fruity, cognac-like odour profile.
In food and beverage formulation, ethyl heptanoate functions as a flavorant by contributing brandy and wine-type notes at concentrations typically in the ppm range. In personal care applications, it acts as an emollient and lubricating agent, reducing friction between skin and formulation components by forming a thin, spreadable film on the surface.
Ethyl heptanoate is supplied in food-grade quality conforming to FCC specifications and is subject to REACH registration requirements for EU market supply. Standard packaging includes drums and intermediate bulk containers, with smaller laboratory quantities available on request. Buyers should confirm grade suitability against their specific regulatory framework prior to procurement.
