General description
Isopentyl acetate, also known as isoamyl acetate, is a widely used solvent. It is an ester produced by combining acetic acid with isopentanol. It is slightly soluble in water but exhibits high solubility in various organic solvents. Isopentyl acetate finds application as a solvent in research labs, can dissolve certain non-polar and polar compounds, and is used in the extraction and preparation of samples for analysis. Furthermore, it serves as a green solvent for the extraction of target compounds from complex matrices.
Application
- Development of a safety analysis method for volatile organic compounds using 2-phenoxyethanol as solvent.: This study developed a novel method for analyzing the safety of volatile organic compounds, including Isopentyl acetate, using 2-phenoxyethanol as a solvent. The method enhances the detection and quantification of these compounds in various matrices, which is crucial for ensuring safety standards in industrial applications (Wang et al., 2024).
- Addition of Saccharomyces eubayanus to SCOBY fermentations modulates the chemical and volatile compound profiles in kombucha.: This research demonstrated that introducing Saccharomyces eubayanus to kombucha fermentation alters its chemical and volatile profiles, including an increase in Isopentyl acetate, which impacts the beverage′s aroma and flavor profile (Venegas et al., 2023).
- Honey Bee Colonies (Apis mellifera L.) Perform Orientation Defensiveness That Varies among Bred Lines.: This article explored the behavioral responses of honey bee colonies to different volatile compounds, including Isopentyl acetate, finding variations in orientation defensiveness among different bred lines of bees (Akongte et al., 2023).
- Discovering Aethina tumida responses to attractant and repellent molecules: A potential basis for future management strategies.: The study investigated the responses of Aethina tumida (small hive beetle) to various attractant and repellent molecules, including Isopentyl acetate, which could inform future pest management strategies in apiculture (Roth et al., 2023).
- A Targeted and an Untargeted Metabolomics Approach to the Volatile Aroma Profile of Young ′Martina′ Wines.: This research utilized both targeted and untargeted metabolomics to analyze the aroma profile of young ′Martina′ wines, identifying Isopentyl acetate as a significant contributor to the wine′s volatile profile (Boban et al., 2022).
