High-purity reference materials for accurate and reliable residue analysis in food and environmental samples.

Overview

Benzaldehyde (C₆H₅CHO) is an organic compound consisting of a benzene ring with a formyl substituent. It is among the simplest aromatic aldehydes and one of the most industrially useful. Benzaldehyde is a colorless liquid with a characteristic almond-like odor.

Uses

Benzaldehyde is commonly employed to confer almond flavor to foods and scented products, including e-cigarette liquids and cosmetics. In industrial settings, it is used chiefly as a precursor to other organic compounds, ranging from pharmaceuticals to plastic additives.

Regulatory

Benzaldehyde is generally regarded as safe (GRAS) by the US FDA and FEMA for use in food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and soap. It is also accepted in the European Union as a flavoring agent.

Monitoring

Monitoring benzaldehyde levels in food and environmental samples is crucial to ensure compliance with regulatory standards. High-purity reference materials are essential for accurate residue analysis.

Health Impact

Human toxicity

Benzaldehyde is safe for use in the concentrations found in foods and cosmetics. Toxicology studies indicate it is non-carcinogenic and may even have anti-carcinogenic properties. The lethal dose for a 70 kg human is estimated at 50 ml.

Environmental Impact

Effects on wildlife

Benzaldehyde can be naturally occurring in many foods and does not accumulate in human tissues. It is metabolized and excreted in urine, minimizing long-term environmental impact.

Safety Measures

Precautionary measures include avoiding inhalation and prolonged skin contact. In case of exposure, follow standard safety protocols such as washing with soap and water and seeking medical attention if necessary.

Regulation

Regulatory bodies such as the US Environmental Protection Agency have identified an acceptable daily intake of 15 mg/day for benzaldehyde. It is important to adhere to these guidelines to ensure safety and compliance.

Analytical Standards

HPC Standards GmbH provides high-purity reference materials for benzaldehyde, tested according to international quality requirements and meeting the highest industrial standards. These reference materials are essential for laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis to ensure compliance with regulatory limits.
