| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
Benzyl butyrate has a characteristic fruity-floral, plum-like odor and a sweet, pear-like taste. | [Chemical Properties]
CLEAR COLOURLESS LIQUID | [Occurrence]
Reported found in papaya, black tea, Passiflora edulis juice, cherimoya (Annona cheremolia Mill.), Bourbon
vanilla, mountain papaya and hog plum (Spondias mombins L.). | [Application]
Benzyl butyrate is used in perfume compositions as a modifier-companion to Benzyl acetate and or Benzyl propionate. Performs well in soap. Also as a
modifier for floral-fruity notes in Acacia,
Geranium, Muguet, Rose, Lily, etc. Must be used in concentrations far below those of
Benzyl acetate. In flavor compositions the ester is used for
imitation Apricot, Butler, Cheese, Liquor,
Loganberry, Muscatel, Nut, Peach, Pear,
Raspberry, Strawberry, Pineapple, etc. Also
suggested for Mango imitation flavor. Concentrations are usually as low as
10 ppm, but may be up to 350 ppm in chewing gum. | [Definition]
ChEBI:Phenylmethyl butanoate is a carboxylic ester. It is functionally related to a benzyl alcohol. | [Preparation]
By heating benzyl chloride and sodium butyrate in water or butyric acid and benzyl chloride under pressure. | [Taste threshold values]
Taste characteristics at 30 ppm: sweet, aromatic, powdery vanillin-like. | [Synthesis Reference(s)]

Notclassified | [Safety Profile]
Moderately toxic by ingestion. Seealso ESTERS. Combustible liquid. When heated todecomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. |
