Description:
Amyl acetate exists in various isomers in chemistry. The commonly seen ones in the market are n-amyl acetate (this entry, CAS 628-63-7) and isoamyl acetate (Isoamyl acetate, CAS 123-92-2). Isoamyl acetate, commonly known as "banana oil", has the same FEMA number 2055, with a fragrance characterized mainly by pear and apple. Both have their respective focuses in the application of spices. Our company can provide amyl acetate products of different specifications according to customer needs.
