Commonly found in nail polish removers and artificial flavorings because of its pleasant, fruity odor. Employed in the production of perfumes and fragrances as a blending agent. Also used in the food industry to impart a pear-like flavor in candies, beverages, and baked goods. Suitable for use in cleaning products where a mild, fast-drying solvent is needed.
