Origin

It can be made synthetically or can be derived naturally. It is produced synthetically via the classical Fischer type esterification method in which isoamyl alcohol and lauric acid are reacted together to give rise to the ester, isoamyl laurate. Lauric acid is a naturally occuring fatty acid present in high amounts in coconut and palm kernel oil. Isoamyl alcohol is made using byproducts from ethanol fermentation. By reacting the lauric acid from natural sources like coconuts, and isoamyl alcohol obtained from ethanol fermentation, isoamyl laureate is obtained naturally.
