ANISYL PROPIONATE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Anise propionate has an herbaceous odor and fruity (cherry, peach) taste

Occurrence

Reported found in fruits.

Uses

Anisyl Propionate is a synthetic flavoring agent this is a stable, col- orless liquid with a heliotrope odor. it should be stored in glass or tin containers. it is used in small concentrations to intensify vanilla, plum, and quince flavor for applications in beverages, baked goods, and candy at 6–20 ppm.

Definition

ChEBI: 4-Methoxybenzyl propanoate is a carboxylic ester. It is functionally related to a benzyl alcohol.

Preparation

By esterification of anisic alcohol with propionic anhydride

Metabolism

In substituted anisoles with a carboxyl group or a potential carboxyl group attached to the aromatic ling, the ether link is relatively stable (Williams, 1959). In the fungicidin-producing soil organism Actinomyces aureus, anisyl alcohol is metabolized to anisic acid, followed by demethylation and hydroxylation to give protocatechuic acid, which is degraded to succinic acid （Tsai.Chu,Yank&Tsao,1965).

Solubility in organics

Insoluble in water, poorly soluble in Propylene Glycol, and almost insoluble in Glycerin. Soluble in alcohol and oils.
