P-Methoxyphenyl-Ethyl Alcohol (Anisyl Alcohol)

Product Overview

    • P-Methoxyphenyl-Ethyl Alcohol, widely identified across international flavor and cosmetic networks by its trade designation Anisyl Alcohol, is an aromatic organic compound used as a fragrance builder and flavor enhancer. Structurally, it consists of an ethyl alcohol chain bonded directly to a p-anisyl (4-methoxyphenyl) ring network. It is commercially supplied as a clear, colorless to light yellow liquid or low-melting crystalline mass that releases a sweet, floral, powdery hawthorn-anise aroma. ProCorBay International distributes premium, high-assay Anisyl Alcohol to international perfume compounding facilities, fine cosmetic houses, and custom food flavor blending labs requiring reliable olfactory consistency.
    • Anisyl Alcohol is typically manufactured through the controlled reduction of anisaldehyde using specialized catalytic hydrogenation platforms, followed by fractionated vacuum distillation to achieve crisp, high-purity fractions. ProCorBay actively monitors supply chains with leading specialty aroma refineries to deliver lots with minimal residual anisaldehyde or volatile organic impurities.
    • This aromatic molecule is highly prized for its exceptional fixative attributes, working as a core mid-note component across sophisticated floral formulations like lilac, lily, hawthorn, and sweet orchid perfumes. Within the industrial flavoring domain, it adds a rich, fruity-sweet vanilla and anise-like profile to sweet confections, bakery coatings, chewing gums, and liquor preparations. ProCorBay serves as a key logistical partner, delivering complete safety certificates and batch data to ensure hassle-free regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Its melting point sits close to room temperature (~24-25°C). During winter or in chilled storage, it will naturally solidify. This change is fully reversible and does not alter the compound's chemical specification.

It is subject to sensitization limits set by various international cosmetic frameworks. Formulators must crosscheck maximum usage thresholds for specific product categories (e.g., rinse-off vs. leave-on products).
