Isoamyl cinnamate

CAS: 7779-65-9

Overview

Isoamyl cinnamate (CAS 7779-65-9 ), also known as isopentyl cinnamate, is an ester used as a flavoring and fragrance ingredient across food and cosmetic applications.

With a characteristic sweet, balsamic, and fruity odor profile, it functions as an aroma compound in finished formulations where a warm, floral character is required for the final product.

In food and beverage manufacturing, it is used as a flavoring agent under FEMA 2063 to impart sweet, fruity-balsamic notes to confectionery, baked goods, and beverages.

Fragrance compounders incorporate it into perfume bases and fine fragrance compositions where soft floral and balsamic undertones are needed to balance the overall aromatic profile.

In personal care, it appears in scented lotions, soaps, and hair care products as a fragrance component. It also functions as a fixative in fragrance blending for manufacturers.

This ingredient helps to anchor lighter top-note materials and extend overall scent longevity. Isoamyl cinnamate is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid for industrial use.

It is available in fragrance-grade and food-grade specifications, with food-grade material conforming to purity requirements aligned with FEMA-recognized flavor ingredient standards.

Typical commercial packaging ranges from small drums to bulk quantities suited to fragrance house and flavor manufacturer volumes, ensuring consistent supply for large-scale production.
