Description

General description

Benzyl alcohol belongs to the aromatic alcohol group of compounds widely utilized in cosmetics. It is also used as a solvent and viscosity-reducing agent.

This substance is listed on the positive list of the EU regulation 10/2011 for plastics intended to come into contact with food. Find all available reference materials for compounds listed in 10/2011 here

Application

Benzyl alcohol may be used as an analytical standard for the determination of benzyl alcohol in:

Wine samples by dichloromethane microextraction followed by gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID).
Uncased and cased tobaccos by stream distillation continuous extraction (SDE) followed by capillary GC or GC coupled with mass spectroscopy (MS).
Dairy products by solid phase microextraction (SPME) followed by GC-MS.
Scented products by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) combined with diode array detector (DAD).
