Benzyl acetate is a plasticizer for ionophore membranes. Benzyl acetate (C9H10O2) is a colorless liquid that emits a delightful blend of sweet, fruity, and floral notes. This chemical compound forms as a result of the esterification of benzyl alcohol and acetic acid and can be found as a constituent in various essential oils like jasmine and ylang-ylang. In terms of its biological effects, benzyl acetate is thought to act as an agonist at the 5-HT2A serotonin receptor, a player in the regulation of mood, anxiety, and appetite. Additionally, it is believed to function as a partial agonist at the 5-HT1A receptor, which also contributes to the modulation of mood, anxiety, and appetite. This versatile and aromatic compound, benzyl acetate, serves both artistic and functional purposes, making it a valuable ingredient in a wide range of products and industries.
