Decyl formate（Cat No.:I025834）is an ester compound formed by the reaction of decyl alcohol (a long-chain alcohol with ten carbon atoms) and formic acid. It is typically used as a fragrance and flavoring agent due to its pleasant, fruity, and slightly floral odor. In addition to its use in cosmetics and perfumes, decyl formate can be found in food products where it serves as a flavor enhancer. This compound is also used in some industrial applications, such as in solvents and as an intermediate in organic synthesis, due to its hydrophobic and reactive properties.
