Description

General description

Hexyl acetate is an ester and is commonly used as a solvent for resins, polymers, fats, and oils. It can also be used as a flavoring agent in the food industry. It is produced by acid catalyzed liquid phase esterification of n-hexanol and acetic acid.

Application

Hexyl acetate was used to study the activity of diamondback moth sex pheromone and larval frass volatiles, as well as green leaf volatiles from cabbage, on the natural enemies of the pest.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Hexyl acetate has antimicrobial activity and can be used to improve the safety of minimally processed fruits. Hexyl acetate is a fruity smelling fluid used as flavoring agent or in perfumes. Hexyl acetate is a green leaf volatile from cabbage Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.

Application of hexanal, E-2-hexenal, and hexyl acetate to improve the safety of fresh-sliced apples.

Rosalba Lanciotti et al.

Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 51(10), 2958-2963 (2003-05-02)

The aims of this work were to evaluate the effects of different concentrations of hexanal, (E)-2-hexenal, hexyl acetate, and their mixtures on the fate of pathogenic species such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella enteritidis, and Listeria monocytogenes inoculated in model systems

Development of a continuous reactor for emulsion-based microencapsulation of hexyl acetate with a polyuria shell.

Sven R L Gobert et al.

Journal of microencapsulation, 36(4), 371-384 (2019-06-20)

Microencapsulation is almost exclusively performed in batch processes. With today's chemistry increasingly performed in flow reactors, this work aims to realise a continuous reactor setup for the encapsulation of an ester with a polyuria (PU) shell. The generation of an
