Product Overview
2-Methylbutyric Acid is a valuable branched-chain fatty acid aroma compound with CAS 116-53-0 and FEMA 2695. It appears as colorless to pale yellow transparent liquid. This ingredient presents concentration-dependent sensory characteristics. At high concentration, it carries distinctive cheesy, fermented and slightly pungent notes. When properly diluted, it turns into attractive fruity hints of apple, apricot and strawberry. It effectively builds authentic dairy and fermented flavor layers. Featuring strong aromatic intensity and excellent blending properties, it is widely applied in edible flavor compounding. It serves as an essential monomer to create natural cheese, butter, berry and fruit profiles for multiple essence systems.
