Isoamyl acetate, also known as isopentyl acetate, is an ester formed from isoamyl alcohol and acetic acid, with the molecular formula C 7 H 14 O 2. It is a colorless liquid that is only slightly soluble in water, but very soluble in most organic solvents. Isoamyl acetate has a strong odor which is described as similar to both banana and pear.

n-Butyl acetate is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 CO 2 (CH 2) 3 CH 3. A colorless, flammable liquid, it is the ester derived from n - butanol and acetic acid . It is found in many types of fruit, where it imparts characteristic flavors and has a sweet smell of banana or apple.
Methyl butyrate, also known under the systematic name methyl butanoate, is the methyl ester of butyric acid.Like most esters, it has a fruity odor, in this case resembling apples or pineapples. [2]
Methyl acetate is occasionally used as a solvent, being weakly polar and lipophilic, but its close relative ethyl acetate is a more common solvent being less toxic and less soluble in water. Methyl acetate has a solubility of 25% in water at room temperature. At elevated temperature its solubility in water is much higher.
Isovaleric acid, also known as 3-methylbutanoic acid or β-methylbutyric acid, is a branched-chain alkyl carboxylic acid with the chemical formula (CH 3) 2 CHCH 2 CO 2 H. It is classified as a short-chain fatty acid. Like other low-molecular-weight carboxylic acids, it has an unpleasant odor. The compound occurs naturally and can be found in ...
However, just like red tide, Lyngbya is sometimes considered a harmful algal bloom because it can cause problems for wildlife, ecosystems and people when too much of it piles up.
Take two! If you’re a fan of Goop’s “This Smells Like Vagina” candle, listen up. Because Gwyneth Paltrow just dropped a “Hands Off My Vagina Bougie Parfumée” — and it’s already ...
