Esters for Flavors & Fragrance Industry by Shree Ganesh Remedies Limited.
May 01, 2023
Esterification is a chemical reaction in which an alcohol
and a carboxylic acid combine to form an ester and a molecule of water. The
process involves the removal of a hydroxyl group (-OH) from the alcohol and a
hydrogen ion (H+) from the carboxylic acid, resulting in the formation of a new
bond between the carbon atoms of the alcohol and carboxylic acid. The reaction
is catalyzed by an acid catalyst such as sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid.
In the field of flavours and fragrances, esterification is
an important process for the synthesis of esters, which are responsible for the
characteristic aroma and taste of many natural and synthetic compounds. For
example, the fruity and floral notes of many essential oils, such as orange and
lavender, are due to the presence of esters. Similarly, many artificial flavors
and fragrances are synthesized through esterification reactions.
