Esters such as ["ethyl acetate"] and ["ester gum"] are used extensively as ["solvent"]s in the manufacture of printing inks. So-called "fruit esters"—such as the ethyl and isoamyl esters of formic, acetic, butyric, and valeric acids—are produced in plants, and provide the characteristic taste and odors of raspberry, cherry, grape, rum, and other flavors, which can also be synthesized artificially.</span> </td> </tr> </table> </div>
