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. | [CAS DataBase Reference]

Colorless to pale yellow liquid or crystalline solid | [Chemical Properties]
Phenethyl phenylacetate has a heavy, sweet, floral and balsamic odor, somewhat rosy and a sweet, honey-like flavor. | [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. | [Occurrence]
Has apparently not been reported to occur in nature. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Phenethyl phenylacetate is a member of benzenes. | [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. | [Flammability and Explosibility]
