Chemical Information
FooDB NameAceteugenol
DescriptionEugenyl acetate, also known as acetyleugenol, is an allyl chain-substituted guaiacol, a member of the allylbenzene class of chemical compounds. Eugenyl acetate is constituted by a benzene ring, substituted by a methoxy group acetoxy group in position 1, a methoxy group in position 2 and a propenoil moiety in position 4. It is the acetylated derivative of eugenol. Eugenyl acetate is a sweet, carnation, and clove tasting compound. It is found in the highest concentration in a few different foods, such as cloves, ceylon cinnamons, and sweet bay. It has also been detected, but not quantified, in nutmegs, herbs and spices, cumins, star anises, and lemon balms.
