4-Ethyl-2-methoxyphenol Usage And Synthesis
Chemical Properties clear colorless to light yellow liquid
Chemical Properties 4-Ethylguaiacol has a warm, sweet, spicy, medicinal odor.
Occurrence Reported found in several distillates of plant origin; it was identified in camphor oil, and it had been reported previously in Tolu and Peru balsam as well as in various wood distillates. Also reported found in cinnamon, coffee, grape, brandy, malt, rum, soy sauce, whiskey, grapefruit juice, smoked fish, lean fish, beer, cognac, cider, grape wines and apple brandy.
Uses 4-Ethyl-2-methoxyphenol is used as smoke flavoring in the food industry and displays antioxidant activity due to its phenolic composition. It is also present in red grapes and in red wines.
Aroma threshold values Detection: 25 ppb. Aroma characteristics at 1.0%: slightly sweet, spicy, clove, smoky and phenolic with charred whiskey barrel notes and a slight vanilla-like creaminess.
Taste threshold values Taste characteristics at 5 to 10 ppm: dry, smoky, clove, phenolic and vanilla-like with tobacco and woody notes, and a burnt bacon oily aftertaste. Taste characteristics at 30 ppm: woody, smoky and spicy with sweet vanilla background.
