Chemical Information
FooDB Name4-Methoxybenzyl acetate
Description4-Methoxybenzyl acetate, also known as anisyl acetate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzyloxycarbonyls. These are organic compounds containing a carbonyl group substituted with a benzyloxyl group. 4-Methoxybenzyl acetate is a sweet, almond, and balsam tasting compound. 4-Methoxybenzyl acetate has been detected, but not quantified in, fruits and herbs and spices. This could make 4-methoxybenzyl acetate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on 4-Methoxybenzyl acetate.
