Anisyl acetate para (4-methoxybenzyl acetate) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C10H12O3. It is an ester of anisyl alcohol and acetic acid. It typically presents as a colorless liquid with a characteristic sweet, floral, fruity, and slightly balsamic odor, often described with nuances of lilac, hawthorn, heliotrope, cherry, and plum. It is valued for its versatile and pleasant aroma profile.
Primarily used as a fragrance ingredient in the perfumery and cosmetic industries. It also finds limited application as a flavoring agent in the food industry.
In perfumery, anisyl acetate para is a common component in floral fragrances (e.g., lilac, hawthorn, heliotrope), oriental, fruity, and balsamic compositions, where it contributes a sweet, powdery, and sometimes cherry-like note. It is used in fine fragrances, soaps, detergents, fabric softeners, and other household products. In the flavor industry, it can be found in formulations for fruit flavors (such as cherry, plum, raspberry) and certain vanilla-type profiles, typically at very low concentrations to add specific nuances.
Anisyl acetate para is generally considered safe for use as a fragrance and flavor ingredient at typical concentrations. In its concentrated form, it may cause mild irritation to the eyes and skin. Ingestion of large quantities may cause gastrointestinal irritation. Inhalation of vapors in high concentrations may cause respiratory tract irritation. Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact. Use with adequate ventilation. Wear protective gloves and eye/face protection when handling concentrated material. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water. In case of skin contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
