Description and Uses
Methyl isovalerate has a strong, pungent, apple-like odor and a bitter flavor. It may be prepared by esterification of isovaleric acid with methyl alcohol at the boil in the presence of concentrated H2SON4.
Isovaleric Acid Methyl Ester is a volatile compound found in Albion and Juliette strawberry fruits that contributes to the flavor of the fruit.
