Chemical compound
Methyl hexanoate is the fatty acid methyl ester of hexanoic acid (caproic acid), a colourless liquid organic compound with the chemical formula CH3−(CH2)4−COO−CH3. It is found naturally in many foods and has a role as a plant metabolite. It can also be found in the cytoplasm of cells.[1]
Methyl hexanoate is produced industrially for use as a flavouring agent.[2][3] It can also be used as fragrance for a pineapple smell.[4]
