Butyl hexanoate is a naturally occurring ester that can be found in various fruits like apples, pears, and grapes. It′s also present in certain plants, flowers, and essential oils. Known for its delightful fruity scent, butyl hexanoate is utilized as a flavoring and fragrance component in a wide range of products. Beyond its aromatic properties, it′s believed to have potential as an anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent, working by suppressing the release of inflammatory substances like cytokines and histamine.
