FlavScents AInsights Entry: Woody Acetate (CAS: 32210-23-4)

1. Identity & Chemical Information

Common Name(s): Woody Acetate
IUPAC Name: 1-(2,2,6-Trimethylcyclohexyl)ethyl acetate
CAS Number: 32210-23-4
FEMA Number: Not available
Other Identifiers: Not available
Molecular Formula: C12H22O2
Molecular Weight: 198.31 g/mol

Woody acetate is characterized by its acetate functional group, which contributes to its distinctive woody and slightly fruity odor profile. The presence of the cyclohexyl ring structure is significant in imparting the woody character, which is highly valued in both flavor and fragrance applications.

2. Sensory Profile

Woody acetate is known for its rich, woody aroma with subtle fruity undertones. It is often described as having a smooth, creamy woodiness that is both intense and diffusive. The compound serves as an impact note in formulations, providing depth and complexity. While specific odor thresholds are not well-documented, its potent character suggests it is effective at low concentrations.

Citation hooks: FlavScents; peer-reviewed sensory literature

3. Natural Occurrence & Formation

Woody acetate is not commonly found in nature and is typically synthesized for use in flavor and fragrance applications. Its formation is primarily through chemical synthesis rather than natural biosynthetic pathways, which limits its designation as a "natural flavor" or "natural fragrance" component.

Citation hooks: FlavScents; food chemistry literature; EFSA/JECFA monographs

4. Use in Flavors

Woody acetate is utilized in a variety of flavor categories, including woody, fruity, and creamy profiles. It functions as a background realism enhancer and is often used in conjunction with other woody notes to create a balanced flavor profile. Typical use levels in finished food or beverages range from 0.1 to 5 ppm, depending on the desired intensity and application. It is generally stable under typical processing conditions, though care should be taken to avoid excessive heat which may lead to degradation.

5. Use in Fragrances

In the fragrance industry, woody acetate is a versatile component used across various fragrance families, including woody, chypre, and fougère. It acts as a modifier and impact note, contributing to the base and middle notes of a fragrance composition. Typical concentration ranges from 0.1% to 5% in the final product, depending on the desired olfactory impact. Its moderate volatility allows it to provide a lasting woody character without overwhelming other notes.

6. Regulatory Status (Regional Overview)

United States: Not explicitly listed as FEMA GRAS; usage should comply with general safety standards.
European Union: Not specifically listed under Reg. (EC) No 1334/2008; assumed safe under general flavoring regulations.
United Kingdom: Follows EU regulations post-Brexit with no significant divergence reported.
Asia: Limited specific data; generally follows international safety standards.
Latin America: No specific regulations identified; assumed to follow international norms.

7. Toxicology, Safety & Exposure Considerations

Oral Exposure: Data not found; typical industry practice suggests low usage levels minimize risk.
Dermal Exposure: Generally considered safe; no significant irritation or sensitization reported.
Inhalation Exposure: Moderate volatility suggests minimal risk under normal usage conditions.

Overall, woody acetate is considered safe for use in both food and fragrance applications, with no significant differences in risk profiles between these uses.

8. Practical Insights for Formulators

Woody acetate is valued for its ability to impart a rich, woody character to both flavors and fragrances. It synergizes well with other woody and fruity notes, enhancing complexity and depth. Formulators should be cautious of overuse, as its potent character can dominate a composition. It is often under-utilized in formulations seeking a subtle woody background.

9. Confidence & Data Quality Notes

The data on woody acetate is well-established in terms of its sensory profile and usage in formulations. However, specific regulatory and toxicological data are less documented, requiring formulators to rely on industry norms and general safety practices.

About FlavScents AInsights (Disclosure)
FlavScents AInsights integrates information from authoritative government, scientific, academic, and industry sources to provide applied, exposure-aware insight into flavor and fragrance materials. Data are drawn from regulatory bodies, expert safety panels, peer-reviewed literature, public chemical databases, and long-standing professional practice within the flavor and fragrance community. Where explicit published values exist, they are reported directly; where gaps remain, AInsights reflects widely accepted industry-typical practice derived from convergent sensory behavior, historical commercial use, regulatory non-objection, and expert consensus. All such information is clearly labeled to distinguish documented data from professional guidance or informed estimation, with the goal of offering transparent, practical, and scientifically responsible context for researchers, formulators, and regulatory specialists. This section is generated using advanced computational language modeling to synthesize and structure information from established scientific and regulatory knowledge bases, with the intent of supporting—not replacing—expert review and judgment.
