What Wikipedia says

Propyl acetate, also known as propyl ethanoate, is an organic compound. Nearly 20,000 tons are produced annually for use as a solvent. This colorless liquid is known by its characteristic odor of pears and some apples. Due to this fact, it is commonly used in fragrances and as a flavor additive.
