Ethyl Butyrate Flavour Standard
The Ethyl Butyrate Flavour Standard, a GMP-certified reference, is essential for professionals aiming to identify and calibrate the distinctive fruity notes of ethyl butyrate in beverages.
Ethyl butyrate is a fruity, ester-based compound known for its vibrant tropical, pineapple, and tutti frutti aroma and taste characteristics. Commonly encountered in both natural and manufactured flavour profiles, it plays a significant role in the sensory perception of many beverages. However, its presence can also indicate bacterial contamination, especially in non-alcoholic beverages where it isn’t intentionally added.
FlavorActiV’s encapsulated flavour standards are designed for both aroma and taste training, making them ideal for sensory evaluation and quality control in the beverage industry.

Cause of the Ethyl Butyrate Flavour
Alcoholic Beverages
Ethyl butyrate is naturally produced during yeast fermentation, especially in beers. However, it can also result from microbial contamination due to poor hygiene practices. The compound’s intensity may increase in the presence of butyric acid, itself a byproduct of inadequate sanitation.
Non-Alcoholic Beverages
In drinks like juices and sodas, ethyl butyrate should only appear when intentionally added for flavouring purposes. Its unexpected presence may indicate bacterial contamination of syrups or sugars during production or storage.
Calibrate your sensory panel with confidence using our Ethyl Butyrate Flavour Standard — a GMP-produced reference ideal for training and quality control in beverage production.
Other Information
The Ethyl Butyrate Flavour Standard ensures precise fruity notes, aligns with industry benchmarks, and serves as a reliable indicator of potential bacterial contamination in both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

FlavorActiV GMP Flavour Standards
Only Pharmaceutical Quality GMP Flavour Standards provide sufficient quality for professional sensory panels to train and validate with.
We produce encapsulated GMP (Pharmaceutical Good Manufacturing Practice) Flavour Standards that are safe to both smell and drink. The compounds within our capsules impart the aroma, taste and mouthfeel of a specific defect or positive flavour into a beverage for the purposes of taster training, calibration and quality control.
Our individual flavour GMP Flavour Standards are sold by flavour, each flavour pack contains 5 capsules, each separately blister packaged. Our sensory kits contain a mixture of flavours, each separately blister packaged, read the product description for flavour details.
We ship globally, and have over 20 years of experience at it. Our GMP Pharmaceutical Flavour Standards are produced to the highest standards, and as such, their shelf-life is strong and their quality consistent.
FlavorActiV’s flavour centre is the world’s only pharmaceutically run facility dedicated to the production of flavour reference standards. The Flavour Centre is a state-of-the-art facility housed within the campus of world-renowned Quay Pharma near Liverpool in the U.K.
The Flavour Centre was designed by FlavorActiV from the ground up at the direct request of global customers as they looked to move away from inferior food grade ‘certified flavour standards’ to GMP Pharma, a standard that ensures safe, stable, traceable, consistent and long shelf-life products.
All FlavorActiV’s industry-leading encapsulated flavour standards are manufactured following GMP at our Flavour Centre. All aspects of manufacture are overseen by Quay Pharma who are audited by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.K. Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory agency (MHRA). We also welcome customer audits.
Only FlavorActiV GMP flavour standard capsules bear our mark of authenticity.
We brand each of our capsules so that our customers know they’re getting the Pharmaceutical GMP Quality that only FlavorActiV provide.
Industry leading packaging and shelf-life
FlavorActiV flavour standards are blister packaged, which extends shelf-life and protects capsules from potential contamination. The average shelf-life of FlavorActiV flavour standards is 18 months to 4 years, depending on the flavour compounds.
We will never ship in pots or plastic packaging, here’s why…
Blister packaging protects capsules from the environment until they are ready for use. Blister packaging greatly reduces the amount of headspace for possible flavour escape. As each capsule individually blister packaged, making use of one capsule still leaves all others protected. FlavorActiV Flavour Standard packaging is 100% recyclable, as opposed to polypropylene which is not widely recycled.
Pots are semi-porous, they allow molecules to pass through and flavour to be lost, their significant headspace also adds to substantial flavour escape as a gas, even when using just one capsule all those remaining in the pot are exposed.
