General description

Pentyl acetate is a straight chain ester. It is an odorant and its odor threshold has been evaluated by sensory panel methods. High pressure phase behavior of type I has been reported for its binary mixtures with CO₂. Solubility of these solvent mixtures was observed to increase with the rise in temperature at constant pressure.
