Ethyl butyrate is used in flavors and fragrances. 
Ethyl butyrate is used as a solvent in perfumery products, and as a plasticizer for cellulose.

Ethyl butanoate (ethyl butyrate) is a volatile ethyl ester found in alcoholic beverages and produced during fermentation by yeast. Ethyl esters are formed by the reaction of ethanol with a fatty acid. 
Ethyl butanoate is responsible for apple-like aromas, pineapple aromas and blue cheese aromas. The concentrations of ethyl ester decrease over time as an alcoholic beverage ages due to spontaneous hydrolysis.
Ethyl butyrate is a common chemical used in flavors and fragrances.
