| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Propyl benzoate is an organic chemical compound used as a food additive. It is an ester. | [Chemical Properties]
CLEAR COLORLESS LIQUID | [Chemical Properties]
Propyl benzoate has a balsamic odor reminiscent of nuts with a sweet, fruity, nut-like taste. | [Occurrence]
Reported found in sweet cherry, clove stem and butter. | [Uses]
Propyl benzoate was used to extract desipramine, a model compound used in the electrochemical analysis by a combined hollow fiber-based liquid three-phase microextraction and voltammetric method. | [Uses]
Propyl benzoate has a nutty odor and sweet fruity or nut-like taste, and as such, it is used as a synthetic flavoring agent in foods. It also has antimicrobial properties and is used as a preservative in cosmetics. It occurs naturally in the sweet cherry and in clove stems, as well as in butter. | [Application]
Propyl benzoate is used in flavor compositions,
again partly for its nut-like effect in Hazelnut
and Walnut imitation, also as a powerful
undertone in fruit complexes, sometimes in
wine-gum flavors, imitation Blackcurrant, etc.
The concentration used is equivalent to
about 10 to 50 ppm in the functional product. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Propyl benzoate is a benzoate ester obtained by condensation of benzoic acid and propanol. It has a balsamic odor reminescent of nuts with a sweet, fruity, nut-like taste. It has a role as a flavouring agent, a plant metabolite and an antimicrobial food preservative. | [Preparation]
By exchange between methyl benzoate and propyl alcohol in the presence of potassium propylate; by heating benzamide
sulfate with propyl alcohol at 90 to 95°C. | [Reactions]
Propyl benzoate can be synthesized by the transesterification of methyl benzoate with propanol. | [Synthesis Reference(s)]
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 72, p. 2464, 1950 DOI: 10.1021/ja01162a029 | [General Description]
The adsorption data of propyl benzoate was obtained by frontal analysis on a symmetry-C18 column by a mixture of methanol and water as the mobile phase. |
