Isoamyl Acetate

Mood: Not quite the real thing!
Food: Bananas ... what else?

Have you ever noticed how all banana-flavoured things taste exactly the same ... but never quite like a banana! Artificial banana flavouring is an ester called isoamyl acetate (CH3COOC5H11) ... mmm now doesn’t THAT sound yummy?!?

Artificial banana flavouring is incredibly potent. Dairies which use these flavourings have to change all the non-metallic pipes and tubes after a run of banana milk shake or ice-cream. Just a couple of stray molecules of isoamyl acetate left in the PVC piping will be enough to generate the perception of banana flavour in non-banana-flavoured food. Dairies always have to make banana-flavoured milk shake their last flavour run of the day!
