Ethyl caprylate is a medium-chain fatty acid ester widely used as a food flavoring and fragrance ingredient. This ester occurs naturally in many fruits and alcoholic beverages, contributing to their characteristic aromas. With its pleasant, fruity fragrance reminiscent of pineapple and pear, it serves as an important component in flavor and fragrance formulations. The compound exhibits excellent stability and compatibility with various organic materials, making it valuable not only in food and fragrance applications but also as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis.
