METHYL ANTHRANILATE
what is METHYL ANTHRANILATE?
Synthetic Ingredient For Perfumery Overview
Methyl anthranilate, also known as MA, methyl 2-aminobenzoate, or carbomethoxyaniline, is an ester of anthranilic acid by the chemical formula C8H9NO2. Methyl anthranilate is a clear to pale yellow liquid, it shows a light blue-violet fluorescence and is very slightly soluble in water, soluble in ethanol and propylene glycol. Insoluble in paraffin oil.At full concentration, it has a fruity grape smell; at 25 ppm it has a sweet, fruity, Concord grape-like smell with a musty and berry nuance. Methyl anthranilate acts as a bird repellent. It is food-grade and can be used to protect corn, sunflowers, rice, fruit, and golf courses. Dimethyl anthranilate (DMA) has a similar effect. M.A. is also used for the flavor of grape Kool-Aidand for flavoring of candy, soft drinks (e.g. grape soda), chewing gum, drugs, and nicotine products. Methyl anthranilate both as a component of various natural essential oils and as a synthesised aroma-chemical is used extensively in modern perfumery.We can produce Schiff bases with aldehydes, many of which are also used in perfumery. In a perfumery context the most common Schiff's Base is known as aurantiol, produced by combining methyl anthranilate and hydroxycitronellal. Methyl anthranilate naturally occurs in the Concord grapes and other Vitis labrusca grapes and hybrids thereof, and in bergamot, black locust, champak, gardenia, jasmine, lemon, mandarin orange, neroli, oranges, rue oil, strawberry, tuberose, wisteria, galangal, and ylang ylang. It is also a primary component of the essential apple flavor, along with ethyl acetate and ethyl butyrate.
