Chemical Properties |
Colorless to pale yellow liquid or crystalline solid |
|
Chemical Properties |
Phenylethyl Phenylacetate has been identified in, for example, the flower concrete of Michelia champaca L. It is a colorless liquid or in the form of crystals (mp 26.5°C), which have a heavy, sweet, rose or hyacinth odor and a distinct honey note. The ester is used particularly in floral fragrance compositions and as a fixative. |
|
Chemical Properties |
Phenethyl phenylacetate has a heavy, sweet, floral and balsamic odor, somewhat rosy and a sweet, honey-like flavor. |
|
Uses |
Phenethyl Phenylacetate is a flavoring agent that is a colorless or pale yellow liquid, with an odor resembling roses and hyacinth, which becomes solid at <26°c (78.8°f). it is soluble in alcohol, insol- uble in water. it is obtained by chemical synthesis. |
|
Preparation |
By esterification of phenylacetic acid with phenethyl alcohol in the presence of H2SO4; also by direct esterification in the presence of gaseous HCl. |
|
Taste threshold values |
Taste characteristics at 25 ppm: honey, floral, green, rose, cocoa, hay and tropical body. |
|
Safety Profile |
Moderately toxic by ingestion. Combustible liquid. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See also ESTERS. |
