| DL-3-Methylvaleric acid Usage And Synthesis |
| Description | 3-Methylpentanoic has a sour, herbaceous, slightly green odor. This is synthesized from the diethylester of sec-butyl-malonic acid. |
| Chemical Properties | clear colorless to slightly yellow liquid |
| Occurrence | Reported found in the oil from tobacco leaves (d-form), baked potato, parmesan, provolone and romano cheese, goat and sheep cheese, lamb fat, rum, cocoa, black tea and chempedak (Arthocarpus polyphema). |
| Uses | 3-Methylvaleric acid (3-Methylpentanoic acid) was used in the synthesis of 3-methyl-1-pentanol. |
| Preparation | From the diethylester of sec-butyl-malonic acid. |
| Aroma threshold values | Detection: 46 to 280 ppb |
| Taste threshold values | Taste characteristics at 30 ppm: sour, cheesey, fresh with fruity notes |
