Description and Uses

Ethyl propionate is a carboxylic acid ester compound containing ester group functionalities. Due to its distinctive fruity flavour, Ethyl propionate is widely used as a food flavouring and as a fragrance in cosmetics. However, it is flammable and hazardous to humans and may damage the liver and kidneys, and high exposures can cause drowsiness and sleepiness.
