  • CIS-3-Hexenyl Isobutyrate

Kelvin Natural Mint is the most reliable CIS-3-Hexenyl Isobutyrate Manufacturers. This ingredient is supplied globally with consistent purity, documented batches, and reliable availability regardless of order size.

There are green aroma esters that do one thing and do it predictably. CIS-3-Hexenyl Isobutyrate is not one of them. It opens with cut grass and fresh leaf, that much is expected from the hexenyl family, but then moves quickly into ripe apple, pear, and something faintly tropical that keeps it from feeling like a single-note green ingredient. At proper dilution, violet leaf and a soft mango-like warmth come through underneath. It is a layered material, and that layering is exactly why trained formulators reach for it when a green note alone is not enough.

Formulation and Performance Profile

It is made by esterifying CIS-3-Hexenol, the same leaf alcohol at the base of most hexenyl esters, with isobutyric acid. That branching at the acid end is what separates this material from the straight-chain butyrate version. The isobutyrate reads fruitier, less buttery, more openly orchard-like. Perfumers who have worked with both will tell you the difference is immediately obvious: one leans herbal-grassy, the other pulls unmistakably toward fruit.

In perfumery, it sits most naturally in floral work. Rose, jasmine, muguet, violet, all of them take it well. Add a small dose and the composition picks up a garden-fresh outdoor quality that is hard to achieve with purely synthetic green materials. Citrus and aquatic bases benefit from it too, specifically because it grounds the top note rather than just sharpening it. And in fruit accords plum especially, but also guava, apple, and tropical blends, it brings the kind of ripeness that makes a flavour or fragrance feel genuinely harvested.

On the flavour side, FEMA 3929 and JECFA 1275 approvals confirm its suitability for food-grade use across standard applications, including beverages, bakery, and confectionery.

One point worth knowing before formulating: this ester is sensitive in high-pH rinse-off systems. Shampoos and shower gels can degrade it faster than expected. If that is your application, run stability tests early, not as an afterthought.

Dosage discipline matters here, too. This material is a strong diffuser. Most formulators work below one per cent. Above that, it tends to take over.
