Phenethyl alcohol CAS#60-12-8
Phenylethyl alcohol, is a primary aromatic alcohol of high boiling point, having a characteristic rose-like odor. It presents organoleptic properties and impacts the quality of the wine, distilled beverages, and fermented foods. It shows its presence in fresh beer and is responsible for the rose-like odor of well-ripened cheese. It is commercially and industrially an important flavor and is a component of a variety of foodstuffs such as ice cream, gelatin, candy, pudding, chewing gum, and non-alcoholic beverages. It is formed by yeasts during fermentation of alcohols either by decomposition of L-phenylalanine or metabolism of sugar substrates.
Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control, provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards.

Product Application Of Phenethyl alcohol CAS#60-12-8
Phenylethyl alcohol is qualitatively and quantitatively one of the most important fragrance substances in the class of aliphatic alcohols. Phenylethyl alcohol is used frequently and in large amounts as a fragrance material. It is a popular component in rose-type compositions but is also used in other blossom notes. It is stable to alkali and, therefore, ideally suited for use in soap perfumes. Indeed, it could be used in fragrance, antimicrobial agents, organic synthesis, preservatives, and food additives. |
