Description
Ethyl 7-octenoate is a volatile ethyl ester found in wine and produced during fermentation by yeast. Ethyl esters are formed by the reaction of ethanol with a fatty acid. They typically have pleasant sweet aromas. The concentrations of ethyl ester decrease over time as a wine ages due to spontaneous hydrolysis.
