General Manufacturing InformationBenzoic acid, ethyl ester: ACTIVE
Applications
DescriptionEthyl benzoate, C9H10O2, is the ester formed by the condensation of benzoic acid and ethanol. It is a colorless liquid that is almost insoluble in water, but miscible with most organic solvents. As with many volatile esters, ethyl benzoate has a pleasant odor which could be described similar to wintergreen mint. It is a component of some artificial fruit flavors.
OccurrenceReported found in volatiles from hard, mature peaches, pineapple and currant. Also reported found in apple juice, banana, guava, cranberry, raspberry, sweet cherry, Parmesan cheese, butter, milk, white wine, red wine, cider, whiskies, cocoa, black tea, fresh plum, apple brandy, cherry brandy, Bourbon vanilla, naranjilla fruit, ceriman or pinanona, pimento berry, olive and passion fruit.
