Chemical Information
FooDB Name2-Phenylethyl acetate
Description2-Phenylethyl acetate, also known as 2-phenethyl acetic acid or benzylcarbinyl acetate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzene and substituted derivatives. These are aromatic compounds containing one monocyclic ring system consisting of benzene. 2-Phenylethyl acetate is a sweet, floral, and fruity tasting compound. 2-Phenylethyl acetate is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as ceylon cinnamons (Cinnamomum verum), red wine, and beer and in a lower concentration in cloves (Syzygium aromaticum) and white wine. 2-Phenylethyl acetate has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as grapefruits (Citrus X paradisi), kiwis (Actinidia chinensis), bitter gourds (Momordica charantia), amaranths (Amaranthus), and abiyuches (Crateva religiosa). This could make 2-phenylethyl acetate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on 2-Phenylethyl acetate.
