Chemical Information
FooDB NamePropyl benzoate
DescriptionPropyl benzoate belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzoic acid esters. These are ester derivatives of benzoic acid. Propyl benzoate is a balsam and nutty tasting compound. Propyl benzoate has been detected, but not quantified in, cloves (Syzygium aromaticum) and milk and milk products. This could make propyl benzoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Propyl benzoate.
