On the strip it reads Crisp fruit, juicy fruit, juicy sweet-tart fruit.
It is registered under CAS 105-37-3.
The catalog records an average working dose of 5% Max In Concentrate%, which is a starting point for a trial rather than a limit.
How it behaves
volatility index 0.91 · the openingA boiling point of 98.9 °C and a molecular weight of 102.13 g/mol give Ethyl Propionate a volatility index of 0.91, which places it in the opening of a composition.
It leaves the strip early and does its work in the first minutes, before the heart arrives.
The index runs from 0 for a material that barely leaves the strip to 1 for one that flashes off, and it is computed from boiling point and molecular weight. Inside a real formula the surrounding materials shift where the boundaries fall, so a material can read differently there than it does here.
