Colorless liquid in nature. Aroma: Has a strong, sweet, and delicate honey like aroma. Relative density (water=1): 1.061-1.069. Solubility: Miscible with ethanol and ether, soluble in acetone, insoluble in water. Structural characteristics Methyl phenylacetate has a high boiling point, which is due to the fact that its molecules contain more carbon oxygen bonds, which need to consume a certain amount of energy to break the interaction between them, thus making the Boiling-point elevation of Methyl phenylacetate rise. Methyl phenylacetate is essentially an ester compound, which has the conventional physical and chemical properties of esters and can be hydrolyzed into corresponding acids and alcohols, or Transesterification can be carried out to generate a new ester compound. The Methyl phenylacetate is used in the formula of edible essence, and is used to prepare essence such as honey, chocolate, tobacco chemicalbook, etc; It can also be used in daily chemical essence, and used to mix rose, oriental and other flavor essence. IFRA has no restrictions. The content analysis is determined according to Method 1 of the ester determination method (OT-18). The sample size taken is 1g. The equivalence factor (e) in the calculation is taken as 75.09. Alternatively, it can be determined using the non polar column method in gas chromatography (GT-10-4).
