Sucrose aromatic monocarboxylate

The present invention provides an ester of sucrose and aromatic monocarboxylic acid represented by the general formula (I): wherein R1 to R5 are independently a group selected from hydrogen atom, an alkyl group and an alkoxy group, and a content of certain impurities in the ester is small. This ester having a small content of halogen has good miscibility with an amorphous resin and a crystalline resin, improves mold-processability, physical properties, flexibility, impact resistance, etc. of these resins, and is useful as a resin modifier having good thermal stability and good resistance to coloring due to heat. This ester having a small content of furfural and hydroxymethyl furfural is useful as an odor improving and extending agent which can improve odor without lowering adhesion of 2-cyano acrylate adhesive.
