Methyl Cinnamate CAS #103-26-4

Methyl cinnamate is the methyl ester of cinnamic acid and is a white or obvious stable with a strong, fragrant odor. It is determined naturally in a range of plants, inclusive of in fruits, like strawberry, and some culinary spices, such as Sichuan pepper and some sorts of basil. Eucalyptus olida has the best possible regarded concentrations of methyl cinnamate (98 %) with a two – 6 p.c clean weight yield in the leaf and twigs.
Methyl cinnamate is used in the taste and fragrance industries. The taste is fruity and strawberry-like; and the smell is sweet, balsamic with fruity odor, reminiscent of cinnamon and strawberry.
It is recognised to entice adult males of quite a number orchid bees, such as Aglae caerulea.
