Use | GB 2760-1996 specifies the permitted use of food flavor. Mainly used in the preparation of vanilla, berry flavor and mixed spices. It is used for the production of spices, the preparation of carnation-type and Oriental-type flavors, and also used as a change-out for isoeugenol. widely used in Carnation, Rose, clove, ylang ylang and other flower flavor, also used in food and tobacco flavor. widely used in Carnation, Rose, clove, ylang ylang and other flower flavor as fixative and can give special style. It is suitable for Loelia type (for perfume), oriental fragrance type, octanoic fragrance type and wood fragrance type essence. Occasionally used as a coordination agent for vanilla beans, chocolate and other food flavors, tobacco flavor is also used. |
production method | isoeugenol is added to the potassium hydroxide solution, dimethyl sulfate is added under stirring, the precipitated oil layer is obtained by distillation. |
