CAS: 78-35-3
Linalyl Isobutyrate is an ester formed from linalool and isobutyric acid. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fresh, floral, fruity, sweet, and somewhat woody or herbaceous odor, often described as having bergamot, lavender, and clary sage nuances. Its molecular formula is C14H24O2 and its CAS number is 78-35-3. It is primarily synthesized for commercial use.
It is widely used as a fragrance ingredient in various consumer products and as a flavoring agent in the food and beverage industry.
In perfumery and cosmetics, Linalyl Isobutyrate is valued for its ability to impart floral (especially lavender-like), fruity, and sweet notes, making it a common component in perfumes, colognes, soaps, detergents, air fresheners, and other personal care items. It blends well with citrus, woody, and other floral notes. In the flavor industry, it is used to create or enhance fruity (e.g., berry, tropical), floral, and herbaceous flavor profiles in candies, baked goods, beverages, and other food products.
Linalyl Isobutyrate is generally considered safe for use in fragrances and flavors when used at typical concentrations. It has been evaluated by the Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association (FEMA) and granted GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status for use as a flavoring agent (FEMA 2673). The International Fragrance Association (IFRA) sets standards for its use in fragrance applications to ensure consumer safety, particularly regarding potential sensitization. In concentrated forms, it may cause mild skin or eye irritation, but serious adverse effects are uncommon with normal handling and use.
