Chemical Information

FooDB Name

Benzyl acetate

Description

Benzyl acetate, also known as benzyl ethanoate, is an organic ester formed from the condensation of benzyl alcohol and acetic acid. Benzyl acetate is a neutral compound with a sweet jasmine-like aroma and a sweet, apple, and apricot taste. Benzyl acetate is found in highest concentration in sweet basils and is detected in figs, fruits, pomes, tea, and alcoholic beverages making benzyl acetate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Benzyl acetate is used as a flavoring agent to impart jasmine or apple flavors to various cosmetics and personal care products like lotions, hair creams (https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-443-06241-4.00013-8).
