    Butyric acid is used in the preparation of various butyrate esters. It is used to produce cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB), which is used in a wide variety of tools, paints, and coatings, and is more resistant to degradation than cellulose acetate. [30] CAB can degrade with exposure to heat and moisture, releasing butyric acid. [31]

    The ABE fermentation pathway generally proceeds in two phases. In the initial acidogenesis phase, the cells grow exponentially and accumulate acetate and butyrate. The low pH along with other factors then trigger a metabolic shift to the solventogenesis phase, in which acetate and butyrate are used to produce the solvents. [4]
