Natural Methyl benzoate Usage


Chemical Properties

It is colorless oily liquid with strong floral and cherry aromas.

Occurrence

Methyl benzoate can be isolated from the freshwater fern Salvinia molesta. It is one of many compounds that is attractive to males of various species of orchid bees, which apparently gather the chemical to synthesize pheromones; it is commonly used as bait to attract and collect these bees for study.
Cocaine hydrochloride hydrolyzes in moist air to give methyl benzoate; drug - sniffing dogs are thus trained to detect the smell of methyl benzoate.

Uses

In perfumes (Peau d'Espagne).

Uses

Methyl benzoate is used in perfumes..

Aroma threshold values
