Description
Isoamyl laurate (CAS 6309-51-9) is a fatty acid ester formed from isoamyl alcohol and lauric acid, also known as isopentyl laurate and referenced under FEMA 2077 and NSC 42577. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified within the oils, fats, and waxes category.
In personal care formulations, isoamyl laurate functions as an emollient carrier and solubiliser, improving the spreadability of actives and fragrance compounds across skin. In food and flavour applications, it contributes a fruity character and serves as a solvent carrier for flavour concentrates, facilitating uniform dispersion in finished products.
Isoamyl laurate is available as a clear liquid and is subject to REACH registration requirements for EU supply. Procurement teams should confirm FCC compliance for food-grade applications and request supplier documentation covering purity specifications and safety data sheets. Standard packaging formats vary by supplier volume tier.
