So, what is butyl ester?
Butyl ester is a type of chemical compound commonly used in the food industry as a flavoring agent. It is made by combining butanol and a carboxylic acid, resulting in a clear, colorless liquid with a fruity odor. Butyl ester is a versatile ingredient that is used to enhance the flavor and aroma of a variety of foods, including beverages, baked goods, and confectionery products. Its fruity notes make it a popular choice for creating sweet, fruity flavors such as apple, apricot, and peach. Due to its low volatility and excellent stability, butyl ester is a popular choice for use in food products that require a long shelf life.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
