Metabolite Identification
Common NameBenzyl formate
DescriptionBenzyl formate, also known as benzyl methanoate or BZO, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzyloxycarbonyls. These are organic compounds containing a carbonyl group substituted with a benzyloxyl group. Benzyl formate is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Benzyl formate is an almond, apricot, and black tea tasting compound. Benzyl formate is found in coffee and coffee products. Benzyl formate occurs in essential oils. Benzyl formate is present in sour cherry, crowberry, Vaccinium species fruits, coffee, black tea, yellow passion fruit, Ocimum basilicum varieties, and other foods. Benzyl formate is used in perfumery and food flavouring.
