Description
Heptyl acetate (CAS 112-06-1, EC 203-932-8) is a straight-chain ester also known as Acetate C-7, FEMA 2547, and NSC 3833. It carries no assigned E-code. The compound is produced by esterification of heptanol with acetic acid and belongs to the acetate ester family within the flavors and fragrances category.
In food and beverage formulations, heptyl acetate delivers fruity, floral top notes characteristic of apricot and peach profiles, functioning as a flavoring agent at low use concentrations. In personal care products, it acts as a solvent and carrier, improving the spreadability and skin feel of fragrance compounds and cosmetic actives by reducing surface tension within the formulation matrix.
Heptyl acetate 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. Procurement quantities and documentation, including SDS and certificate of analysis, are available on request.
