Ethyl phenylacetate

Ethyl phenylacetate (CAS 101-97-3 ), also known by its FEMA 2452 designation, is a synthetic ester used as a flavoring and fragrance ingredient across food and personal care markets.

It delivers a characteristic honey-like, rose, and sweet floral scent profile that forms the basis of its commercial value. In food and beverage manufacturing, it functions as a flavoring agent.

It is used in confectionery, baked goods, and beverages where honey, floral, or fruity notes are required. Fragrance compounders incorporate it into perfumes, eau de toilette, and body care formulations.

These applications help to build sweet, rosy top and middle notes. Personal care manufacturers use it in scented lotions, soaps, and hair care products where a soft floral character is the target profile.

It also appears in tobacco flavoring blends, where its sweetness rounds out harsher aromatic notes. The compound is supplied as a clear, mobile liquid in standard packaging ranging from small drums to bulk quantities.

Food-grade material conforming to FEMA and FCC specifications is the primary commercial form, supporting its use in regulated flavor applications across the global food industry.

Technical-grade material is available for fragrance and non-food industrial use where food certification is not a sourcing requirement. This ensures versatility for various manufacturing needs.
