Isoamyl cinnamate

Isoamyl cinnamate (CAS 7779-65-9, FEMA 2063) is a synthetic ester formed from isoamyl alcohol and cinnamic acid, also referenced as isopentyl cinnamate or isopentyl 3-phenyl propenoate. It carries a characteristic fruity-floral, balsamic odor profile and is recognised under FEMA guidelines for use in flavour applications.

In food and beverage formulations, isoamyl cinnamate contributes fruity and balsamic top notes at low use levels, functioning as a flavouring modifier in confectionery, baked goods, and fruit preparations. In personal care, it serves as a fragrance component in fine perfumery and functional cosmetics, where its balsamic character supports oriental and floral accords.

Isoamyl cinnamate is supplied as a flavour-grade material compliant with FEMA and IOFI standards, and falls under REACH registration requirements for EU market supply. It is available in standard drum and intermediate bulk container formats; buyers should confirm purity specifications and documentation requirements at the point of enquiry.
