Anisyl acetate Usage And Synthesis

Aroma

Mild fruity-floral, slightly balsamic-vani]ialike odor in the Plum and Lilac type, also reminiscent of certain types of Cherry.
Excellent in sweet florals such as Lilac, Acacia, Mimosa, Violet, Honeysuckle. Anisyl acetate is one of the classic ingredients to achieve the so-called "powdery" notes which are still in strong demand by the fragrance consumers. In combination with Cyclamal it produces very unusual, powerful and pleasant effects of this type.
Frequently used in flavor compositions for imitation Berry, Chocolate, Cocoa, Fruit, (Cherry), Vanilla, etc. Concentrations usually about 30 ppm. This ester performs very well in baked goods (heat-stable).

Chemical Properties

clear colourless to pale yellowish liquid

Chemical Properties

Anisyl Acetate has been found in several types of berries. It is a colorless liquid with a fruity, slightly balsamic blossom odor and is used occasionally in sweet, floral compositions but more frequently in flavor compositions for fruity notes.

Chemical Properties

Anisyl acetate has a floral, fruit-like odor (pleasant, vanilla, plum, lilac) and a slight pungent, sweet taste.

Occurrence

Reported found in vanilla and currants.

Uses

Perfumery, flavoring.

Preparation

May be prepared by the reaction of anisic alcohol with acetic anhydride

Production Methods

Anisyl acetate can be produced from Anisyl alcohol by direct esterification with Acetic acid or Acetic anhydride.

Definition

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