Butyric Acid is a fatty acid that is commonly obtained from butter fat. it has an objectionable odor which limits its uses as a food acid- ulant or antimycotic. it is an important chemical reactant in the manufacture of synthetic flavoring, shortening, and other edible food additives. used in plastics as a raw material for the cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB).Butyric acid is used in the preparation of various butyrate esters.
