Description

Benzyl acetate is a colorless liquid that has a pleasant odor. It is used as a flavoring agent in food, beverages and tobacco products. Benzyl acetate is also used as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals. A low-dose group of rats was given benzyl acetate at doses of 0.5, 1, 5 and 10 mg/kg/day for 30 days. The animals were observed for changes in enzyme activities and thermal expansion reactions. Chronic exposure to benzyl acetate may cause carcinogenesis by inducing dimethyl fumarate (DMF) or methyl transferase activity.
