We all have seen, tasted, or touched
isoamyl acetate (C7H14O2) some time or
another in our lives. It is the distinctive odor, taste, and color
of bananas. However, it is combined with other compounds when it is
found in a banana. If you smell isoamyl acetate in it's natural
state, you will likely experience drowsiness, a headache, a sore throat,
and weakness. Also, your eyes will turn red and start to burn.
Do not eat it either, if you do, you will experience abdominal pain,
nausea, and possibly a sore throat.
Since I was not able to find a picture of the substance by itself, a
picture of a banana can be found above, for those of you that haven't seen
one =)
