Description

• General description: Isoamyl acetate is the major ginjo-flavor components of Japanese sake (Ginjo-shu). It is effective in inactivating various microorganisms.[1] Synthesis of isoamyl acetate by lipase-catalyzed transesterification of ethyl acetate in n-hexane has been reported.[2] It is flavor-active compound present in beer.[3]
• Application: Impact of non-Saccharomyces yeasts derived from traditional fermented foods on beer aroma: Analysis based on HS-SPME-GC/MS combined with chemometrics.: This study investigates the influence of non-Saccharomyces yeasts on beer aroma using headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC/MS) and chemometric analysis. Isoamyl acetate was identified as a significant compound contributing to the aroma profile, enhancing fruity and sweet notes in the beer (Cao et al., 2024).Investigating the impact of various sorghum types on the key aroma compounds of Sichuan Xiaoqu Baijiu through application of the sensomics approach.: This research explores the effect of different sorghum varieties on the aroma compounds of Sichuan Xiaoqu Baijiu, a Chinese liquor. Isoamyl acetate was highlighted as a key volatile compound contributing to the characteristic fruity aroma of Baijiu (Ma et al., 2024).
