描述
Isohexyl isocaproate is a member of the class of compounds known as fatty acid esters. Fatty acid esters are carboxylic ester derivatives of a fatty acid. Isohexyl isocaproate is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Isohexyl isocaproate can be found in a number of food items such as pepper (c. frutescens), orange bell pepper, pepper (c. annuum), and yellow bell pepper, which makes isohexyl isocaproate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
