Description and Uses

Methyl heptanoate has a strong, almost fruity, orris-like odor with a currant-like flavor. Methyl heptanoate may be prepared by treating heptanoic acid with methyl alcohol in the presence of HCL or H2SO4.

Methyl heptanoate may be used as an external standard for the extraction and quantification of aroma compounds in stratch matrices using gas chromatography technique.
