ChEBI: This acetate is formed through the condensation of acetic acid and (Z)-hex-3-ene-1-ol. At concentrations below 10 ppm, it imparts a pleasant fruit-green taste, while at levels under 2 ppm, it distinctly evokes the flavor of bananas. This ester, along with various other chemicals, can generate intriguing combined flavors.
For example, a concentration of approximately 1 ppm of cis-3-hexene acetate, when combined with 0.05 ppm of allyl isothiocyanate (allyl mustard oil), creates a unique unripe banana flavor with sharp green and fruity notes, unmistakably banana-like, with no discernible mustard flavor. Both substances produce weak and incomplete flavor impressions at the specified concentrations.
