A slightly yellowish viscous liquid. Strong fruit flavor like banana, pineapple.
by octanoic acid and allyl alcohol with benzene as dehydrating agent, beta Naphthalene sulfonic acid in the presence of catalytic esterification products.
It is widely used in food flavor and daily chemical flavor, pineapple flavor and as daily chemical flavor. The dosage of food flavor was 0.1~5.1mg/kg. It is used as soap essence, detergent essence, perfume essence, cream essence, etc.
rat acute oral LD50:0.57-0. 77g/kg. The rabbit percutaneous LD50 values exceeded 0.625g/kg. In the closed condition, the sample was applied to the skin of the rabbit for 1 day, and moderate irritation was observed. Even at a dosage of 0.31g/kg, the same phenomenon was observed. Irritation and sensitization were not observed in a two-day closed skin contact test in humans using a 4% Vaseline formulation.
