as used in pear drops
Isoamyl acetate, Banana
oil, is used to confer banana flavor in foods. Pear oil commonly
refers to a solution of isoamyl acetate in ethanol that is used as
an artificial flavour.
Banana oil is used in fishing
bait as an attractant especially for Carp who flock to the 'Pear
drops' scent.
It is also used as a
solvent for some varnishes and nitrocellulose lacquer , as
well as being a honey bee pheromone and can be used to attract large
groups of honeybees to a small area. As a solvent and carrier for materials
such as nitrocellulose, it was extensively used in the aircraft industry for
stiffening and wind-proofing fabric flying surfaces, where it and its derivatives
were generally known as 'dope'. Now that most aircraft are all-metal, such use
is now limited to model aircraft, where it is still popularly used for
strengthening tissue coverings and balsa wood.
Because of its intense,
pleasant odour and its low toxicity, isoamyl acetate is used to test
the effectiveness of respirators or gas masks.
