N-Valeric Acid application:
Its primary use is in the synthesis of its esters. Salts and esters of valeric acid are known as valerates or pentanoates. Volatile esters of valeric acid tend to have pleasant odors and are used in perfumes and cosmetics. Several, including ethyl valerate and pentyl valerate are used as food additives because of their fruity flavors.
Valeric acid is an important chemical raw material, mainly used to synthesize valeric acid esters. Valeric acid esters are volatile and have a pleasant aroma. They can be used in perfumes and
cosmetics. Ethyl valerate and amyl valerate have fruity aromas and are used as food additives. Valeric acid esters are widely used in flavors, medicines, lubricants, plasticizers and other
industries. They are a widely used chemical raw material.
