   Banana oil is not made of banana at all or any part of a banana  instead it is a man-made liquid chemical with the odour of bananas only. It is prepared from fusel oil and sodium acetate. A fusel oil is a volatile poisonous oily liquid, consisting largely of amyl alcohol, and having a disagreeable odour and taste, obtained when potato, corn, or grape spirits are rectified. And Sodium acetate is the sodium salt of acetic acid. The chemical formula of banana oil or amyl acetate is: (CH3)2CH(CH2)2CO2CH3.
