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.
Application
Banana essence. Used as test odorant in studies of olfactory function and in studies of the psychosocial effects of odor.
Pentyl acetate may be used as odorant to compose the library of odorants to evaluate the responses of olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) to various odorants (having different structures and odors).

Mammals can perceive and discriminate myriad volatile chemicals as having a distinct odor. Odorants are initially detected by odorant receptors (ORs) on olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) in the nose. In the mouse, each OSN expresses one of ∼1000 different OR

Heteromeric insect odorant receptors (ORs) form ligand-activated nonselective cation channels in recombinant expression systems. We performed a pharmacological characterization of Drosophila melanogaster and Bombyx mori ORs expressed in the Xenopus laevis oocyte expression system and characterized them using the 2-electrode

Ca2+/calmodulin-mediated negative feedback is a prototypical regulatory mechanism for Ca2+-permeable ion channels. In olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs), such regulation on the cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channel is considered a major mechanism of OSN adaptation. To determine the role of Ca2+/calmodulin desensitization
