Description

General description

Isobutyl alcohol is a water-soluble aliphatic alcohol that can be used as flavoring agent.[1] It has been identified as one of the aroma/flavor compounds produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae during the semiaerobic fermentation of grapes to form wine.[2]

We are committed to bringing you greener alternative products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product is Biobased and thus aligns with "Less Hazardous Chemical Syntheses" and "Use of Renewable Feedstocks".

Application

• Volatiles from nutritional fungal symbiont influence the attraction of Anisandrus maiche (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) to ethanol-baited traps.: This investigation revealed that volatiles emitted by fungal symbionts impact the attraction of Anisandrus maiche to ethanol-baited traps. The study suggests potential applications in pest management strategies by utilizing isobutanol and other volatiles (Tobin et al., 2024).
