Description
Isoamyl phenylacetate (CAS 102-19-2, EC 203-012-6) is an ester formed from phenylacetic acid and isoamyl alcohol, registered under FEMA 2081 and also referenced as NSC 60582 and amyl phenyl acetate. It carries no E-code designation and belongs to the phenylacetate ester family used in flavour and fragrance applications.
In food and beverage formulations, it delivers a characteristic rose-honey-apple note at low use concentrations, functioning as a flavouring agent that rounds out fruit and floral profiles. In personal care products, it contributes a soft, sweet-floral character to fragrance compositions, where its moderate volatility supports mid-note development in perfume blending.
Isoamyl phenylacetate is supplied as a flavour-grade liquid compliant with FEMA GRAS status and subject to REACH registration requirements within the EU. Procurement quantities typically range from kilogram samples to drum volumes. Buyers should confirm FCC compliance and supplier safety data sheets prior to formulation use.
