Regulatory evidence across markets

None of the 13 markets tracked here holds an imported rule under the name HEXENYL ACETATE.

That is a statement about this inventory, not about the law: no imported rule is not evidence that a substance is permitted. A rule may exist under a different name, under a CAS or EC number this glossary entry does not carry, or in a dataset not yet imported.

2-Hexenyl acetate, (2E)-

(E)-hex-2-enyl acetate is an acetate ester resulting from the formal condensation of the hydroxy group of (E)-hex-2-en-1-ol with the carboxy group of acetic acid. It has a role as a flavouring agent and a plant metabolite. It is an acetate ester and an olefinic compound. It is functionally related to an (E)-hex-2-en-1-ol. — ChEBI
