Ethyl tridecanoate (CAS 28267-29-0)

Ethyl tridecanoate, a fatty acid ester, has garnered research attention primarily in the fields of flavor and fragrance science, as well as in industrial applications. Studies have explaind its role as a flavor compound in various food products and beverages. Ethyl tridecanoate contributes to the fruity, pineapple-like aroma and flavor notes observed in certain fruits, such as pineapple, and in products like wines and spirits. Its presence in food matrices has been investigated using analytical techniques such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O), aiding in the identification and quantification of aroma-active compounds. Additionally, in industrial settings, Ethyl tridecanoate has found applications as a fragrance ingredient in perfumes, cosmetics, and household products. Research efforts have focused on optimizing its synthesis routes and investigating its potential as a natural flavoring agent or fragrance additive. Moreover, studies have explored the biodegradability and environmental impact of Ethyl tridecanoate, especially in the context of its use in consumer products, contributing to sustainable product development practices. Ongoing research continues to explore the diverse applications and mechanisms of Ethyl tridecanoate, particularly in the fields of flavor chemistry, fragrance science, and green chemistry initiatives.
