Overview of Denatonium Benzoate

 

Denatonium Benzoate tastes bitter. It's an organic compound used extensively for its denaturant properties and as an aversive ingredient in chemical products for the home, as well as industrial uses. It is highly sought-after due to its bitter flavour as well as its stability. In low amounts, it's non-toxic, which makes it worthwhile to prevent accidental consumption of harmful chemicals.

Denatonium's chemical formula is C21H28N2O2. Its structure is the quaternary ammonium-cation, which is connected to benzoate anion giving it a high degree of solubility when used in the presence of polar solvents as well as durability in various formulations. Denatonium Benzoate is typically a white powder that has extreme bitterness. It is evident even at extremely low levels.
