3-Phenyl-1-propanol

3-Phenyl-1-propanol (CAS 122-97-4) is a naturally occurring primary alcohol also identified as Benzenepropanol, Phenylpropanol, and FEMA 2885. It carries no assigned E-code. The compound is found in trace quantities in certain essential oils and is produced synthetically for commercial supply.

In food and flavour applications, it contributes a mild rose-like, balsamic character and functions as a flavorant at controlled use levels governed by FEMA guidelines. In polymer processing, it acts as a crosslinker and heat stabiliser by reacting with functional groups in resin systems, helping to moderate thermal degradation during compounding.

3-Phenyl-1-propanol is supplied in technical and flavour-grade forms compliant with REACH registration requirements. FCC-grade material is available for food and fragrance applications. Standard packaging includes drums and intermediate bulk containers, with documentation covering SDS, CoA, and REACH compliance upon request.
