Definition |
ChEBI: A benzoate ester obtained by the formal condensation of the carboy group of 4-methoxybenzoic acid with methanol. |
|
Preparation |
By esterification of anisic acid with methanol or from sodium anisate, dimethyl sulfate and small amounts of methanol. |
|
Aroma threshold values |
Aroma characteristics at 10.0%: sweet, creamy, anisic vanillalike, slightly spicy, woody and powdery heliotropine-like. |
|
Taste threshold values |
Taste characteristics at 10 ppm: spicy, sweet, anisic-like with a woody vanilla, licorice and methyl salicylate nuances and with a lingering sweet coumarin vanilla aftertaste. |
|
Safety Profile |
Low toxicity by ingestion and skincontact. A skin irritant. When heated todecomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. |
