Description

Methyl Eugenol CAS NO 93-15-2 is a phenylpropanoid compound, a naturally occurring aromatic ether widely used as a flavor and fragrance ingredient. Its primary commercial value lies in its strong, sweet, clove-like, and spicy aroma, making it a key component in perfumery and flavoring. This chemical is also critically important as a powerful attractant and parapheromone in integrated pest management (IPM) programs for fruit flies. Industries that require this product include fragrance and flavor manufacturing, agricultural chemicals, and research laboratories.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: A key aromatic component in the formulation of perfumes, soaps, detergents, and cosmetics, imparting spicy, clove, and carnation notes.
• Agricultural Attractant: Used as a highly effective male lure in traps for monitoring and controlling populations of tephritid fruit flies, such as the Oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis).
• Food Flavoring: Employed as a synthetic flavoring agent in baked goods, beverages, and confectionery, subject to regulatory approvals (e.g., FCC, FEMA GRAS).
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of other fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
• Research & Development: Utilized in entomological studies and the development of new pest control strategies and formulations.
