Description
Eugenyl acetate (CAS 93-28-7, EC 202-235-6) is the acetate ester of eugenol, commercially referenced under FEMA 2469 and NSC 1242, and also known as acetoeugenol or acetyleugenol. It carries no assigned E-code. The compound belongs to the phenylpropanoid family and is classified under HS code 29147000.
In food and beverage formulation, eugenyl acetate delivers warm, spicy, clove-like top notes at low use concentrations, functioning as a flavoring agent regulated under FEMA GRAS status. In personal care and fine fragrance applications, it acts as a fixative and scent modifier, extending the longevity of clove and carnation accords within a finished composition.
Eugenyl acetate is supplied as a colourless to light yellow oil or semi-solid in food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications, with compliance documentation available for REACH registration and FCC standards. Standard packaging includes drums and intermediate bulk containers, with lot-specific certificates of analysis provided on request.
