Overview
Benzenepropanol (CAS 122-97-4 ), also known by FEMA 2885 , is a primary aromatic alcohol used as a fragrance and flavoring ingredient across personal care, food, and industrial applications.
It delivers a mild, sweet, rose-like character that makes it a recognized building block in scent and flavor formulation. In fragrance manufacturing, it functions as a fixative and blending alcohol.
It is used in fine perfumes, soaps, and cosmetic preparations, extending the longevity of top and heart notes. Food and beverage producers use it as an approved flavoring agent for various products.
FEMA status supports its use in confectionery, baked goods, and beverages where a subtle floral-rosy profile is required. In polymer and resin systems, it serves as a reactive intermediate or chain extender.
It is utilized in curing formulations where a bifunctional aromatic alcohol is specified. Personal care formulators also incorporate it into lotions and hair care products as a scent contributor.
The material offers mild stabilizing properties and is supplied as a clear liquid in drum and IBC quantities. Smaller pack sizes are available for laboratory and specialty use for diverse clients.
It is offered in flavor/fragrance-grade and technical-grade specifications to meet the purity requirements of different end markets. Buyers should confirm compliance with relevant regional flavor regulations.
