What is the content of ethyl acetate in a banana?

The smell of bananas comes from the ester 3-methylbutyl acetate. Ethyl acetate has a smell similar to that of bananas and is often used in banana fragrances as well as being naturally found in some wines. The ester 3-methylbutyl acetate (isopentyl acetate) is an artificial banana scent/flavor. While we perceive the smell of this compound as the smell of bananas, the chemical is not responsible for the scent/flavor of real bananas. Banana candies (runts for example) use 3-methylbutyl acetate as the artificial flavoring and any true banana lover could tell you that the candies taste different than the fruit.


Major use of isoamyl acetate?

Isoamyl acetate or 3-methyl-1-butyl ethanoate is often called essence of pear or banana. It is naturally occurring in both of these fruits as well as some others. It has a highly characteristic smell and is used as a fragrance in soaps and other household products. It is sometimes used to cover up undesirable odors from a product. It has been known to be used as a gas mask test chemical due to its high odor even in low concentrations and low toxicity. It is also a pheromone that bees release when in peril that attracts other bees to the area and provokes them to attack.
