Anisyl acetate Usage And Synthesis

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

Taste threshold values

Taste characteristics at 30 ppm: fruity, floral, vanilla, coconut, honey, cocoa, anise and licorice

Synthesis Reference(s)
