Use | ethyl benzoate is a food spice that is allowed to be used in China's "hygienic standard for the use of food additives". It is mainly used in the preparation of black currant, strawberry, cherry, banana, grape and other fruit food flavor. In the amount of gum sugar in 59mg/kg; Baked food 10mg/kg; Candy 9.0mg/kg; Soft drink 2.8mg/kg; Cold drink 2.8mg/kg. used in the preparation of flavor, also used as a solvent for cellulose ester, cellulose ether, resin and so on used as a solvent and flavor adjuvant, also used in organic synthesis GB 2760 a 96 regulation for the allowed use of edible spices. Mainly used for the preparation of cherry, black currant (black currant), strawberry flavor. It is commonly used in heavier floral fragrance types, especially in ylang ylang type, and other fragrance types such as Carnation and tuberosity. It is also suitable for the preparation of new Humulus scandens and other non-floral essence. Can be used with the rock rose products for leather flavor.

It is used for the preparation of blue-based flavor and soap flavor, and also used as a solvent for cellulose esters, cellulose ethers, resins, etc. ester synthetic fragrance. It is mainly used as the blend fragrance of the essence such as tuberosity, Rose, ylang ylang, carnation, etc. |
production method | is obtained by esterification of benzoic acid with ethanol. it is prepared by esterification of benzoic acid and ethanol in the presence of anhydrous aluminum sulfate and trace sulfuric acid. add 24.4g(0.2 mo1) of benzoic acid, 50ml of benzene, 18.4g(0.4 mo1) of ethanol and 0.8g of sulfuric acid to a triple bottle with a water trap, slowly heat and reflux until the water separator is free of water. The reactants were distilled at atmospheric pressure to recover benzene and the remaining ethanol, and then distilled under reduced pressure to collect a fraction of 101 to 103 ° C. (2.66kPa) to obtain about 28g of product. C6H5COOH CH3CH2OH[H2SO4]→C6H5COOCH2CH3 H2O |
