General description

Ethyl hexanoate is the main flavor component identified in Chinese strong-flavored liquor (CSFL).

Application


  • Formation of Key Aroma Compounds During 30 Weeks of Ripening in Gouda-Type Cheese Produced from Pasteurized and Raw Milk.: The study investigates the formation of key aroma compounds, including ethyl hexanoate, during the ripening of Gouda-type cheese. The results provide insights into the ripening process and its impact on cheese flavor development (Duensing et al., 2024).
