Colorless mobile liquid.
Practically insoluble in water and glycerin. Soluble in alcohol and perfume oils. Slightly soluble in propylene glycol.
Powerful but thin, sweet floral, fresh and light, fruity odor reminiscent of Jasmin, Gardenia, Muguet, Lily and other flowers.
Frequently used in flavor compositions, for imitation Apple, Apricot, Banana, Butter, Cherry, Peach, Pear, Plum, Pineapple, Quince, Raspberry, Strawberry, Violet, etc.
Very extensively used in perfumery, from the lowest priced industrial odors to the most highly appreciated cosmetic fragrances, often constituting the main ingredient in a perfume oil. It is almost inevitably the largest component in Jasmin and Gardenia fragrances, and it enters in a multitude of other floral fragrance types in smaller proportions. Its poor tenacity is usually compensated for by proper blending with higher esters of Benzyl alcohol, and with suitable fixatives. In the industrial odors, the volatility of Benzyl acetate is often only an advantage.
Concentration usually about 35 ppm, except in chewing gum where it may be as much as 800 ppm.
Produced from Benzyl chloride and Potassium acetate in presence of a catalyst.
