Propyl benzoate

Propyl benzoate ( CAS 2315-68-6 ), also identified under FEMA 2931 , is an ester used commercially as both a flavoring agent and a functional solvent in food and cosmetic formulations.

It delivers a characteristic fruity, floral note that positions it as a building block in flavor and fragrance compounding. In flavor creation, it contributes cherry, rose, and fruity nuances to confectionery.

These applications extend to beverages and baked goods, where precise ester character is required. Fragrance houses use it as a carrier and modifier in floral and oriental fragrance compositions.

This material improves diffusion and blending performance of other aroma materials. In personal care, it functions as a solvent and emollient carrier in formulations such as lip products and skin creams.

It is also utilized in hair care preparations where oil-phase compatibility is needed. Its solvency profile supports the dissolution of fragrance raw materials and active ingredients during manufacturing.

Propyl benzoate is supplied as a clear liquid in drum and IBC quantities suited to industrial procurement volumes. It is available in food-grade quality compliant with FEMA-recognized standards.

Technical grade options are also available for cosmetic and industrial solvent applications. Buyers should confirm purity specifications and relevant regional compliance documentation with their supplier.
