Description

Butyl butyryl lactate has a taste similar to milk, mild cheese, butter and cream.


Liquid|colourless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet-sour, buttermilk odour


Butyl butyryllactate is a diester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of 2-(butanoyloxy)propanoic acid with butan-1-ol. It has a role as a flavouring agent and a plant metabolite. It is a diester and a butyrate ester. It derives from a 2-hydroxypropanoic acid and a butan-1-ol.
