Isopropylbenzoat

OccurrenceReported found in apple, pear, cocoa, honey and feyoa fruit (Feyoa sellowiana)

VerwendenIsopropyl benzoate is used as an insecticide evaporation control agent. This ester has found a little use in perfume compositions, since it produces very pleasant complex notes with Oakmoss and Labdanum, Vetiver, etc. It is an “outdoor” type of odor, suitable for all materials of the Clover, Lavender, Hay, Fougere, Chypre, etc. and it may also be used for variations in an Ylang type of heavy floral or Oriental type. It 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.
