  • Applications

    Anisyl propionate, also known as 4-methoxybenzyl propionate (CAS 7549-33-9), is a versatile aroma chemical with a sweet floral-fruity scent reminiscent of orange blossom, jasmine, cherry and ripe pear; it is widely employed in fine fragrances, air-care sprays and scented candles to build delicate floral accords, round off aldehydic or amber notes and enhance heat stability and diffusion; in personal-care formulations it imparts a soft scent to creams, shampoos, shower gels and deodorants; in household products it masks technical odors in detergents, fabric softeners and dishwashing liquids; furthermore, thanks to its low odor threshold and favorable safety profile, anisyl propionate is authorized as a flavor additive for confectionery, beverages and baked goods, where it delivers a clean fruity-vanilla aftertaste.
