  <name>Butyl benzoate</name>
  <description>Butyl benzoate, also known as butyl benzoic acid, is a member of the class of compounds known as benzoic acid esters. Benzoic acid esters are ester derivatives of benzoic acid. Butyl benzoate is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Butyl benzoate is a mild, amber, and balsamic tasting compound found in papaya, which makes butyl benzoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
