Acetoacetates
Acetoacetates are compound ketone-containing esters. Some of them occur in nature (ethyl acetoacetate in baked products). They may have questionable stability in a finished flavor and have been observed to give off carbon dioxide upon standing in acidic conditions. See Ketones (Aliphatic), Stability.
