Metabolite Identification
Common NameBenzyl acetate
DescriptionBenzyl acetate, also known as benzyl ethanoate or fema 2135, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzyloxycarbonyls. These are organic compounds containing a carbonyl group substituted with a benzyloxyl group. Benzyl acetate is a sweet, apple, and apricot tasting compound. Benzyl acetate is found, on average, in the highest concentration within sweet basils. Benzyl acetate has also been detected, but not quantified, in several different foods, such as figs, fruits, pomes, tea, and alcoholic beverages. On high concnetrations benzyl acetate is a potentially toxic compound. If the compound has entered the eyes, they should be washed with large quantities of isotonic saline or water.
