Description

• General description: Ethyl formate is a flavoring agent with a rum-like odor. It has been known to act as a fumigant against insect pests in stored foods.[1]
• Application: Thermodynamic Analysis of Eplerenone in 13 Pure Solvents at Temperatures from 283.15 to 323.15 K.: This study focuses on the solubility of Eplerenone, using ethyl formate as one of the solvents, to understand the compound′s interactions and stability, contributing to pharmaceutical formulations and drug delivery systems (Liu et al., 2024). Ethyl Formate Fumigation against Pineapple Mealybug, Dysmicoccus brevipes, a Quarantine Insect Pest of Pineapples.: This research evaluates ethyl formate as a potential fumigant for controlling pineapple mealybugs, offering an alternative to traditional pesticides with potential applications in sustainable agricultural practices (Kwon et al., 2024).Development of a Concurrent Treatment Technique of Ethyl Formate and Mixtures (Nitrogen, Phosphine) to Control Citrus Mealybug (Planococcus citri).: This research explores a novel pest control strategy using ethyl formate combined with other gases, aiming to improve efficacy and reduce environmental impact in managing citrus mealybug infestations (Kim et al., 2023).
