Ethyl benzoate

CAS: 93-89-0

Overview

Ethyl benzoate (CAS 93-89-0 ), also known as benzoic ether, is an ester used across flavoring, fragrance, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. It delivers a characteristic sweet, fruity, and floral scent profile that underpins its demand in both food and cosmetic formulations.

In food and beverage production, it functions as a flavoring agent (FEMA 2422 ), contributing fruity top notes to confectionery, baked goods, and beverages. Fragrance compounders incorporate it into perfumes, soaps, and personal care products.

Pharmaceutical manufacturers use it as a solvent and carrier for active ingredients in topical and oral formulations. Its compatibility with a range of excipients supports clean processing and reliable stability in various medicinal applications.

It also serves industrial applications as a fixative and diluent in specialty chemical blending. Ethyl benzoate is supplied as a clear, mobile liquid in drum and IBC quantities suited to industrial-scale procurement for global distribution.

Food-grade material is available meeting FCC specifications, supporting use in regulated flavor applications. Technical-grade and pharma-grade variants are also commercially available for diverse manufacturing requirements.

Buyers typically specify purity thresholds of 99% or higher depending on the end application. This high level of purity ensures consistent performance in sensitive fragrance compositions and complex pharmaceutical delivery systems.
