Ethyl butyrate, also known as ethyl butanoate, or butyric ether, is an ester with the chemical formula CH3CH2CH2COOCH2CH3, with one oxygen having a double bond. It is soluble in propylene glycol, paraffin oil and kerosene. Ethyl butyrate is present in many fruits e.g. apple, apricot, banana, plum, tangerine etc. Ethyl butyrate is a flavouring ingredient and it can be synthesized by reacting ethanol and butyric acid. This is a condensation reaction, meaning water is produced in the reaction as a byproduct. Ethyl butyrate has been found to be associated with several diseases and/or conditions such as Crohn’s disease (PMID: 23867873 ), ulcerative colitis (PMID: 23867873 ), irritable bowel syndrome (PMID: 23867873 ), celiac disease (PMID: 21970810 ), autism (PMID: 24130822 ), Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) (PMID: 24922509 ) and Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) (PMID: 23454028 ). Specifically, in individuals with Crohn’s disease, ethyl butyrate is significantly reduced in the feces at a concentration of 0.000396 (0.000034-0.00324) nmol/g wet feces (PMID: 23867873 ) compared to normal individuals at a concentration of 2505.202 nmol/g wet feces (PMID: 23867873 ). Similarly, in individuals with ulcerative colitis, ethyl butyrate is significantly reduced in the feces at a concentration of 0.000189 (0-0.00279) nmol/g wet feces (PMID: 23867873 ) compared to normal individuals at a concentration of 2505.202 nmol/g wet feces (PMID: 26416813 ). In individuals with irritable bowel syndrome, ethyl butyrate is significantly reduced in the feces at a concentration of 0.0000086 (0-0.000362) nmol/g wet feces (PMID: 23867873 ) compared to normal individuals at a concentration of 2505.202 nmol/g wet feces (PMID: 26416813 ). However, based on literature, there has not been sufficient quantification for most of these conditions as mentioned above.
