Introduction
Mild and spicy, like carnation, clove aroma, slightly sweet.
Application
Isoeugenyl acetate (CAS 93-29-8) is a naturally occurring phenylpropanoid ester found in essential oils of ylang-ylang, nutmeg, and clove. It possesses a sweet, warm, spicy, and floral aroma reminiscent of clove, carnation, and lily with balsamic undertones. In the flavor and fragrance industry, it is widely used as a base note and fixative in fine perfumery, colognes, aftershaves, soaps, shampoos, and laundry detergents, providing excellent longevity and a rich, spicy-floral character. As a flavoring agent (FEMA 2472), it imparts clove, cinnamon, and fruity nuances to beverages, baked goods, confectionery, chewing gum, and meat products. Its high purity ensures consistent organoleptic performance. Xinchem offers custom synthesis, custom chemical synthesis, and contract manufacturing of high-purity isoeugenyl acetate with flexible scaling from R&D to commercial tons.
