 |  | [Uses] 
 Piperonyl Acetate is a synthetic flavoring agent that is a stable, col-
orless to light yellow liquid of heliotrope odor. it should be stored in 
glass or resin-lined containers. it is used in flavors for berry notes 
with applications in beverages, candy, ice cream, and baked goods at 
50–90 ppm.

 | Hazard Information | Back Directory |  | [General Description] 
 Clear pale yellow liquid.  Insoluble in water.
 |  | [Reactivity Profile] 
 PIPERONYL ACETATE(326-61-4) is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids.  Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products.  Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions.  Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides.
 |  | [Air & Water Reactions] 
 Insoluble in water.
 |  | [Health Hazard] 
 ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS:  This compound is an irritant.
 |  | [Fire Hazard] 
 This chemical is combustible.
 |  | [Chemical Properties] 
 light yellow liquid
 |  | [Chemical Properties] 
 Piperonyl acetate has a very sweet, light, floral–fruity odor with cherry-like undertones with a sweet, fruity flavor at
low levels and bitter at high levels.
 |  | [Occurrence] 
 Reported found in endive (Cichorium endivia L.).
 |  | [Definition] 
 ChEBI: Piperonyl acetate is a member of benzodioxoles.
 |  | [Preparation] 
 By acetylation of the corresponding alcohol; by boiling dimethylpiperonyl amine with acetic anhydride.
 |  | [Taste threshold values] 
 Taste characteristics at 50 ppm: floral, soapy, fruity, berry and slightly jamy with a powdery nuance.
