Physical properties
Colorless liquid with a sweet, banana-like odor. A detection odor threshold concentration of 275
μg/m3 (52 ppbv) was reported by Punter (1983). Cometto-Mu?iz and Cain (1991) reported an
average nasal pungency threshold concentration of 1,650 ppmv.

Uses
Banana essence. Used as test odorant in studies of olfactory function and in studies of the psychosocial effects of odor. A colorless liquid made by adding sulfuric acid to a mixture
of amyl alcohol and acetic acid with subsequent recovery
by distillation. It is slightly soluble in water but insoluble
in alcohol. Amyl acetate was used as one of the solvents
in making celluloid film and as fuel for the Alteneck lamp,
adopted as the standard light in sensitometry by the International
Congress of Photography in 1889. n-Amyl acetate is used as a solvent forlacquers and paints; in fabrics’ printing; innail polish; and as a flavoring agent.
