Ethyl butyrate, also known as ethyl butanoate, or butyric ether, is an ester with the chemical formula CH₃CH₂CH₂COOCH₂CH₃. It is soluble in propylene glycol, paraffin oil, and kerosene. It has a fruity odor, similar to pineapple, and is a key ingredient used as a flavor enhancer in processed orange juices. It also occurs naturally in many fruits, albeit at lower concentrations.
