| Questions And Answer | Back Directory | [Description]
Ethyl laurate (also known as ethyl dodecanoate) is a kind of laurate ester formed by the esterification between ethanol and laurate. It can be used as a fruity flavoring agent. It can be found in alcoholic beverages such as wine during fermentation process. It is presented in many kinds of fruits such as apple, apricot, guava, melon, etc as well as in wheatbread, crispbread, ginger, whisky, fruit brandies and wine.
