Raw Material for Isoamyl Laurate Production
According to the Isoamyl Laurate production plant project report, the major raw materials for Isoamyl Laurate production include Isoamyl Alcohol- Lauric Acid.
Production Process of Isoamyl Laurate
The extensive Isoamyl Laurate production cost report consists of the following industrial production process:
- Production via Transesterification: This production process involves the classical Fischer-type esterification reaction for the production of isoamyl laurate. The process is initiated by the chemical reaction of isoamyl alcohol (3-methylbutanol) with lauric acid (dodecanoic acid) in the presence of an acid catalyst, which results in the formation of isoamyl laurate as the final product.
