The inventor of Banana Oil is believed to be chemist Percy Julian.
Banana Oil was first synthesized in 1934 by Percy Julian while working for the Glidden Company.
Banana Oil, also known as isoamyl acetate, is commonly used as a flavoring agent in foods and beverages, as well as a solvent in industrial applications.
Banana Oil is made through a process called esterification, where acetic acid and isoamyl alcohol are combined and heated together to form the compound.
Banana Oil is generally considered safe for consumption, however, prolonged exposure to high concentrations may cause irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory system. It is important to use proper safety precautions when handling Banana Oil in its concentrated form.
