Chemical Information
FooDB NameHexyl hexanoate
DescriptionHexyl hexanoate belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty acid esters. These are carboxylic ester derivatives of a fatty acid. Hexyl hexanoate is very hydrophobic, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. Hexyl hexanoate has an apple peel, cut grass, and fresh taste. Hexyl hexanoate is found in highest concentration in passion fruits. Hexyl hexanoate has also been detected in milk and milk products, pomes, citrus, asian pears, and apples. This could make hexyl hexanoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
