Benzaldehyde ≥99.8 +%, pure, FCC, food grade

What is Benzaldehyde?

Benzaldehyde is the main component of bitter almond oil, is a colorless to yellowish liquid with a bitter almond odor. Benzaldehyde is the simplest aromatic aldehyde found in many essential oils. It is derived from benzene and is closely related chemically and structurally to benzoic acid, which can be obtained from it by oxidation. It is an important raw material.

Chlorination of toluene by free radicals gives benzal chloride (dichloromethylbenzene), which can be reacted with water to form benzaldehyde (and HCl). Accordingly, benzaldehyde is also obtained by radical bromination of toluene and subsequent hydrolysis. In both cases, a nucleophilic substitution of halide occurs in the final reaction step.

A 'direct' oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde is also possible. However, because benzaldehyde is easily oxidized to benzoic acid, either selective oxidizing agents must be used, or the benzaldehyde produced must be 'captured' with a rapid reaction and thus protected against further oxidation.

Benzaldehyde is harmful to health, although a real health hazard can usually only be expected if relatively large amounts are ingested. It smells pleasantly sweet like marzipan. The taste of benzaldehyde is generally perceived as characteristically marzipan-like, but in its pure state it is also perceived as unpleasantly burning. In large dilution, especially with ethanol, a wild cherry note is increasingly added to the aroma. Benzaldehyde is also one of the flavors in wine. With an odor threshold of 3 milligrams/l in white wine, it is an important part of the wine bouquet. Benzaldehyde has a flash point of 64 °C and an ignition temperature of 190 °C. The aroma of marzipan is largely due to the aromas of the almonds or their roasted aromas. Benzaldehyde is an important part of the aroma.

What is Benzaldehyde used for?

Benzaldehyde is used as a flavoring agent for a bitter almond nut and is the starting material for the production of a number of other aromatic scents and flavours.
