Farnesyl acetate

Description:
Farnesyl acetate is an organic compound classified as a sesquiterpene ester. It is derived from farnesol and acetic acid, featuring a molecular structure that includes a farnesyl group attached to an acetate moiety. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, fruity aroma, making it valuable in the fragrance and flavor industries. Farnesyl acetate is known for its stability and low volatility, which contributes to its effectiveness as a fragrance fixative. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. In terms of its applications, farnesyl acetate is often used in perfumes, cosmetics, and food flavoring, providing a sweet, floral note reminiscent of jasmine or rose. Additionally, it has been studied for potential biological activities, including antimicrobial properties. As with many esters, it is important to handle farnesyl acetate with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
