Bornyl acetate

Bornyl acetate (CAS 76-49-3, EC 200-964-4, FEMA 2159) is a naturally occurring ester found in conifer oils, also referred to as borneol acetate or bornyl ethanoate. It carries no E-code designation and is identified under the molecular formula C12H20O2.

In food and beverage flavoring, bornyl acetate contributes a fresh, pine-like, camphoraceous note and is used at controlled levels to replicate conifer or herbal profiles in finished products. In personal care and cosmetic formulations, it functions as a fragrance component, where its volatility profile determines its role as a top or middle note in scent compositions.

Bornyl acetate is supplied in compliance with REACH regulations and is recognized under FEMA 2159 for flavor applications. It is available in liquid form suitable for direct incorporation into formulations. Procurement quantities typically range from small laboratory volumes to bulk industrial supply, with documentation available upon request.
