Description

Benzyl benzoate is a glycol ether that is used in the pharmaceutical industry as a solvent and as an excipient. It has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which may be due to its ability to inhibit the production of eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) and benzyl benzoate in plants. This compound also has biocompatible properties, which allows it to be used in polymer compositions for control analysis. Benzyl benzoate is metabolized by esterases and glucuronidases, or conjugated with glucuronic acid. A control method for detecting the presence of benzyl benzoate in water was developed by using a fluorescent dye. The fluorescence intensity decreases when benzyl benzoate binds to the dye due to quenching of energy transfer from the excited state of the dye molecule.
