CLEAR COLORLESS TO PALE YELLOW LIQUID | [Chemical Properties]
Phenethyl acetate has a floral odor reminiscent of rose with a honey-like undertone and a sweet, fruit-like taste reminiscent
of raspberry. | [Chemical Properties]
Phenethyl acetate occurs in a number of essential oils and is a volatile aroma component of many fruits
and alcoholic beverages. Phenylethyl acetate is a colorless liquid with a fine rose
scent and a secondary, sweet, honey note. It is used in perfumery as a modifier of
phenylethyl alcohol, for example, in rose and lilac compositions. In addition, it is
used in a large number of aromas, in keeping with its natural occurrence. | [Occurrence]
Reported found in apple, banana, currants, guava, grapes, pineapple, tomato, strawberry, melon, cinnamon,
cassia leaf, clove bud, peppermint oil, vinegar, breads, cheeses, butter, beer, cognac, whiskies, cider, sherry, grape vines, tea, Arctic
bramble, olive, passion fruit, plum, mushroom, starfruit, Bantu beer, mango, fermented radish, litchi, wort, Bourbon vanilla, brandy,
naranjilla fruit, lamb’s lettuce and eucalyptus oil. | [Uses]
2-Phenethyl acetate is a highly valued natural volatile ester with a rose-like odour and is widely used to add scent or flavour to cosmetics, soaps, foods and drinks. | [Uses]
Phenylethyl acetate mantains the typical rose notes of Phenylethanol with a more intense honey profile which is perfect for fruit and alcoholic drink applications. It is used as a pharmaceutical intermediate and also it holds application in gas chromatography and liquid chromatography. | [Definition]
ChEBI: The acetate ester of 2-phenylethanol. | [Preparation]
By acetylation of phenylethyl alcohol. | [Aroma threshold values]
Detection: 3 to 5 ppm | [Taste threshold values]
Taste characteristics at 50 ppm: fruity, sweet, honey, floral, tropical, rosy with a slight yeasty, honey note
with a cocoa and balsamic nuance. | [Synthesis Reference(s)]
