Metabolite Identification
Common NameEthyl benzoate
DescriptionEthyl benzoate, also known as benzoic ether or fema 2422, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzoic acid esters. These are ester derivatives of benzoic acid. Ethyl benzoate is the ester formed by the condensation of benzoic acid and ethanol. It is a component of some artificial fruit flavors. It is a colorless liquid that is almost insoluble in water, but miscible with most organic solvents. As with many volatile esters, ethyl benzoate has a pleasant odor. Ethyl benzoate is a sweet, anise, and balsam tasting compound. Ethyl benzoate has been detected, but not quantified, in several different foods, such as black elderberries, pomes, alcoholic beverages, allspices, and blackcurrants.
