BENZYL ACETATE
Benzyl acetate is a principal volatile constituent of the flowers of several plants, including jasmine, hyacinth, gardenia, ylang-ylang, alfalfa and others.
Benzyl acetate is almost inevitably the most significant component in Jasmine and Gardenia fragrances, and it enters many other floral fragrance types in smaller proportions.
Its poor tenacity is usually compensated for by proper blending with higher esters of Benzyl alcohol and with suitable fixatives.
In industrial odors, the volatility of Benzyl-acetate is often only an advantage.
Uses: Benzyl Acetate is very extensively used in perfumery, from the lowest priced industrial odors to the most highly appreciated cosmetic fragrances, often constituting the main ingredient in perfume oil.
Benzyl acetate is an aromatic chemical, usually appearing as a transparent liquid with a moderately sweet jasmine fragrance.
This compound appears as a component of some of the fragrance blends.
Benzyl acetate is a synthetic chemical produced for industry from benzyl alcohol and acetic acid but is also naturally present in the essential oils of many plants, including jasmine and ylang ylang.
Benzyl acetate often appears in fragrances, either as a synthetic additive used as a fixative to help preserve the longevity of a fragrance or as a natural component of the essential oils used in the fragrance.
Like most other esters, it has a sweet and pleasant aroma, making it useful in personal hygiene and health care products.
Benzyl acetate is a constituent of Jasmin and ylang-ylang and neroli essential oils.
Benzyl acetate has a pleasant, sweet aroma reminiscent of jasmine.
Further, as a flavoring agent, Benzyl acetate is also used to impart jasmine or apple flavors to various cosmetics and personal care products like lotions, hair creams, etc.
Benzyl acetate is one of many compounds attractive to males of various species of orchid bees.
Benzyl acetate is collected and used by the bees as an intra-specific pheromone. In apiculture, benzyl acetate is employed as a bait to collect bees.
Natural sources of benzyl acetate include varieties of flowers like jasmine (Jasminum) and fruits like pear, apple, etc.
