Esteripohjaiset
Esteripohjaiset refers to substances derived from esters. Esters are a class of organic compounds commonly found in nature and also synthesized for various industrial applications. They are characterized by the presence of a carboxyl group where the hydrogen atom has been replaced by an alkyl or aryl group. This ester functional group (-COO-) is formed through the reaction of an alcohol with a carboxylic acid, a process known as esterification.
The properties of esteripohjaiset compounds vary widely depending on the specific alcohol and carboxylic acid used
Beyond their sensory properties, esteripohjaiset materials find extensive use in industry. They serve as solvents in
