What is isoamyl alcohol?

Isoamyl alcohol is part of the fusel alcohol family and has the chemical formula C5H12O. Imagine a pentane chain with an alcohol group attached to one of its carbon atoms; that's isoamyl alcohol's structure. This unique setup gives it special properties, like a relatively low boiling point and a pleasant smell. With a density of about 0.81 g/cm³ at 20°C, it's lighter than water, making it perfect for applications where density matters.

How isoamyl alcohol is made

Isoamyl alcohol is usually produced by fermenting carbohydrates using yeast or bacteria, much like making alcoholic beverages. This fermentation process creates a mix of fusel oils, from which isoamyl alcohol is extracted. The next step is purification through distillation, where isoamyl alcohol is separated based on its boiling point to ensure a high-purity product.

Uses and applications of isoamyl alcohol

With the growth expectation of the fusel oil market by 2030, isoamyl alcohol production is also on the rise. Its versatility and sustainable properties allow it to be found in numerous industries.

Its pleasant, fruity smell makes it a popular ingredient in the manufacturing of perfumes, cosmetics, and flavouring, especially banana oil.

Furthermore, isoamyl alcohol's properties make it an effective component in biofuel production and other specialty chemicals industries.
