Discover Aure Chemical's Premium Isopropyl 2-Methylbutyrate Supply
Isopropyl 2-Methylbutyrate (IP-2MBA) (CAS 66576-71-4) is a highly effective, fast-diffusing ester essential for building complex, authentic fruity flavor profiles. It is a colorless liquid characterized by an intensely powerful, fresh, sweet, and slightly winey-fermented odor, often described as ripe apple, mango, or pineapple. Compared to the ethyl variant, the isopropyl ester offers a softer, less sharp overall profile, making it easier to integrate into subtle flavor formulations. Its high volatility provides an excellent top note impact. Aure Chemical guarantees a high-purity product with full Halal certification.

Application Overview
Isopropyl 2-Methylbutyrate's unique combination of high diffusion and soft fruit character makes it vital for achieving authentic flavor top notes in various consumer products:
Flavoring Agent (Pome and Tropical Fruit): It is a key ingredient for formulating highly realistic apple (cider and fresh), pear, apricot, mango, and passion fruit flavors. Its soft profile helps integrate harsh citrus or green notes.
Beverage Industry: Used in soft drinks, sparkling waters, hard ciders, and other alcoholic beverages where a clean, authentic, and fast-acting fruit top note is critical for initial sensory appeal.
Confectionery and Baked Goods: Incorporated into candies, chewing gum, and fillings, where its high impact ensures the flavor survives processing and maintains intensity.
Perfumery Modifier: Although primarily a flavor chemical, its highly diffusive, fresh fruity note can be used in trace amounts in fruity-floral fine fragrances to provide a radiant, airy top note.
