Description

Ethyl heptanoate ( CAS 106-30-9 ), also known commercially as wine oil or oenanthic ether, is an ester used primarily as a flavoring and fragrance ingredient. It delivers a characteristic fruity, cognac-like, and wine-adjacent aroma profile. This profile makes it a target compound for flavor houses and fragrance formulators sourcing finished ingredient inputs. In food and beverage flavoring, it is used to replicate or reinforce cognac, brandy, and fruit notes. The compound carries FEMA 2437 status for use in approved flavor applications in both alcoholic and non-alcoholic product formulations. Fragrance manufacturers incorporate it into fine fragrance and functional compositions. It is particularly useful where wine-like or fruity top notes are required. In personal care, it functions as a fragrance component in skin and hair care products, contributing to scent profiles in lotions and creams. The ingredient is also utilized in rinse-off formulations. Its ester character supports mild emollient and skin-conditioning performance in cosmetic bases, providing functional benefits alongside its aromatic properties. The product is supplied as a clear liquid, typically in drum and smaller packaging formats suited to flavor and fragrance procurement volumes. It is available in food-grade quality meeting FEMA standards. Purity levels are maintained to meet flavor industry requirements. Technical-grade material is also available for fragrance and cosmetic applications where food compliance is not required for the final formulation.
