Chemical Information
FooDB NameBenzyl benzoate
DescriptionBenzyl Benzoate, also known as benylate or benylic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzoic acid esters. These are ester derivatives of benzoic acid. Benzyl Benzoate is a drug which is used to kill lice and the mites responsible for the skin condition scabies. Benzyl Benzoate is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Benzyl Benzoate is a faint, sweet, and almond tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Benzyl Benzoate is found, on average, in the highest concentration within ceylon cinnamons. Benzyl Benzoate has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as chinese chestnuts, highbush blueberries, bayberries, horseradish tree, and tinda. This could make benzyl benzoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
