Methyl p-tert-butylphenylacetate
Methyl p-tert-butylphenylacetate, identified by CAS 3549-23-3, is a synthetic ester widely utilized in the flavor and fragrance industry. It is characterized by its distinct honey-like, floral, and sweet aroma, often described as having nuances of rose, chocolate, and fruit. This compound typically appears as a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is highly appreciated for its stability and excellent blending capabilities in various complex aromatic formulations.
As a versatile flavoring agent, it is recognized under FEMA number 2690 and is approved for use in food applications. It serves as a key ingredient in creating sophisticated flavor profiles for the food and beverage industry, particularly in confectionery, gelatin, and baked goods. Its chemical structure, featuring a tert-butyl group on the phenyl ring, contributes significantly to its unique olfactory profile and lasting persistence, making it a valuable component for professional perfumers and flavorists seeking specific sweet-floral notes that remain stable throughout the shelf life of the consumer product.
• Used extensively as a flavoring agent in the global food industry to provide sweet, honey-like, and balsamic floral notes in products such as hard candies, chewing gums, baked goods, and non-alcoholic beverages.
