Description
Isoamyl decanoate (CAS 2306-91-4, EC 218-982-6), also known as isoamyl caprate, isopentyl caprate, and isoamyl n-caprate, is a fatty acid ester formed from isoamyl alcohol and decanoic acid. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under HS code 2915.90.1800.
In food and flavour applications, isoamyl decanoate contributes fruity, waxy top notes and functions as a carrier solvent for flavour concentrates, improving dispersion in oil-based systems. In personal care formulations, it acts as an emollient carrier and solubiliser for fragrance and active ingredients, offering low viscosity and good skin spreadability without a greasy residue.
Isoamyl decanoate is supplied as a clear liquid and is available in food-grade quality meeting FCC specifications. The substance is registered under REACH and complies with EU cosmetic ingredient regulations. Typical packaging formats for B2B supply include drums and intermediate bulk containers.
