| [Compositional Specifications of Allyl Caproate] |
| Content |
Allyl Caproate should be contain not less than 98.0% of Allyl Caproate (C9H16O2) 98.0%. |
| Description |
Allyl Caproate is colorless～pale yellow transparent liquid with a characteristic scent. |
| Identification |
When 5 ml of alcoholic solution of KOH is added to 1 ml of water and heated in a water bath, its characteristic aroma disappears and an odor of allyl alcohol is produced. When this solution is acidified with dilute sulfuric acid, a scent of caproic acid is produced. |
| Purity |
(1) Specific gravity : Specific gravity should be within a range of 0.884∼0.890.
(2) Refractive index : Refractive Index n(20, D) should be within a range of 1.422∼1.426.
(3) Clarity of Solution : When 1 ml of Allyl Caproate is dissolved in 6 ml of 70% alcohol, the solution should be clear.
(4) Acid value : Acid value should not be more than 1 as determined by Acid Value in Flavoring Substances Test. |
| Assay |
Approximately 1g of Allyl Caproate is tested by Ester Value.
0.5 N alcoholic potassium hydroxide solution 1 ml ＝ 78.11mg C9H16O2 |
| Permitted Use Level of Allyl Caproate |
Allyl Caproate should only be used for flavorings. |
