Ethyl Hexanoate, commonly referred to as ethyl caproate, is an organic compound classified under esters. It naturally occurs in several fruits such as apples and pineapples, contributing to their sweet, fruity aroma. The compound is also produced synthetically and is widely used as a flavoring agent in the food and beverage industry. During fermentation, especially in alcoholic beverages like wine and cider, ethyl hexanoate is generated by yeast activity, enhancing the aroma profile of the final product. In addition to its sensory contributions, it finds applications in the tobacco industry and other sectors requiring aromatic compounds.
Global Ethyl Hexanoate Market was estimated to be valued at USD 320 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 531.52 million by 2032, growing at a robust CAGR of 5.80% during the forecast period.
