, also known as methyl octanoate, is an organic compound with CAS 111-11-5 and chemical formula C9H18O2. Colorless to light yellow transparent liquid. This compound has a strong fruity and green aroma, similar to the mixed aroma of mango and strawberry. Extremely insoluble in water, soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, and oil. It naturally exists in iris curd, strawberries, pineapples, plums, and other essential oils. According to the Chinese GB2760-2011 Food Additive Use Standard, it is allowed to use edible spices. Methyl caproate has good flavor and can promote appetite. It is mainly used to make pineapple, berry and fruit essence. It can be used as an additive in coatings and inks to improve their fluidity and adhesion. It can provide lower viscosity and faster drying time, making coatings and inks easier to apply and dry. In the field of cosmetics, its low irritation and good skin permeability can be utilized to develop products suitable for sensitive skin; In chemical analysis, samples can be qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by measuring their physical parameters such as refractive index, boiling point, and melting point.

1. Food additives:


2. Spices and essence:

In the spice industry, methyl octanoate is mainly used to prepare various edible spices. Due to its rich and long-lasting aroma, methyl octanoate is often used in combination with other spice components to produce a richer and more coordinated aroma. It can be used to produce various types of edible spices such as fruit aroma, floral aroma, and wine aroma, providing the necessary aroma and taste for the food processing industry.

4. Daily chemical products:



In addition, methyl octanoate is also used in the production of personal care products such as shampoo. As one of the main components of shampoo, methyl octanoate can provide a long-lasting aroma while also serving as a cleansing and hair care agent. In shampoo, the addition of methyl octanoate can make hair softer, more shiny, and easier to comb.
5. Industrial cleaning agents:


Secondly, methyl octanoate has good emulsification performance, which can emulsify and suspend non-polar dirt such as oil in water, making it easy to clean. Through emulsification, oily dirt can be transformed into small droplets of suspension and mixed with water-based cleaning agents, making it easier to clean.

6. Emulsifiers:

In lotion polymerization, methyl octanoate as an emulsifier can help to combine oil soluble polymer and water soluble polymer to form a stable lotion. By effectively reducing the surface tension of oil-water interface, methyl octanoate can uniformly disperse the oily polymer in water to form a delicate and stable lotion. This lotion can be used to prepare coatings, adhesives, inks and other products to improve the performance and stability of products.
