Applications of Methyl Cinnamate

Methyl cinnamate (CAS NO. 103-26-4) belongs to the class of organic compounds known as cinnamic acid esters. These are compound containing an ester derivative of cinnamic acid.



Other names of methyl cinnamate: methyl trans-cinnamate, methyl e-cinnamate, cinnamic acid methyl ester, methyl cinnamylate, methyl 3-phenylacrylate, methyl e-3-phenylprop-2-enoate, methyl 3-phenylpropenoate, trans-cinnamic acid methyl ester, trans-methyl cinnamate, etc.

Applications of Methyl Cinnamate

Methyl cinnamate is a chemical reagent used in the synthesis of fungacidal compounds. Also used in the synthesis of flavaglines as potent anticancer and cytoprotective agents. Flavouring agent methyl cinnamate is the methyl ester of cinnamic acid and is a white or transparent solid with a strong, aromatic odor. It is found naturally in a variety of plants, including in fruits, like strawberry, and some culinary spices, and some varieties of basil. Eucalyptus olida has the highest known concentrations of methyl cinnamate (98%) with a 2-6% fresh weight yield in the leaf and twigs. Methyl cinnamate is found in many foods, some of which are Chinese cinnamon, fruits, herbs and spices, and sweet basil.

Storage Method of Methyl Cinnamate

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months(2-8℃). Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20℃. Generally, these will be useable for up to two weeks. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.

Applications of Trans-cinnamic Acid

Trans-cinnamic acid, also known as (2e)-3-phenyl-2-propenoic acid or (E)-cinnamate, is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Trans-cinnamic acid is a sweet, balsam, and honey tasting compound and can be found in a number of food items such as maitake, mustard spinach, common wheat, and barley, which makes trans-Cinnamic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Trans-cinnamic acid can be found primarily in saliva. Trans-cinnamic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Trans-cinnamic acid is a non-carcinogenic (not listed by IARC) potentially toxic compound. Cinnamic acid is an organic compound with the formula C6H5CHCHCO2H. It is a white crystalline compound that is slightly soluble in water, and freely soluble in many organic solvents. Classified as an unsaturated carboxylic acid, it occurs naturally in a number of plants....

Fragrance or Flavor Odor Type Listing

Fragrance and flavor substances are comparatively strong-smelling organic compounds with characteristic, usually pleasant odors. The odors of single chemical compounds are extremely difficult to describe unequivocally. The odors of complex mixtures are often impossible to describe unless one of the components is so characteristic that it largely determines the odor or flavor of the composition. Although an objective classification is not possible, an odor can be described by adjectives such as flowery, fruity, woody, or hay-like, which relate the fragrances to natural or other known products with similar odors. Such as, Pure ethyl cinnamate has a fruity and balsamic odor. A few terms used to describe odors are listed below: Aldehydic odor note of the long-chain fatty aldehydes, e.g., fatty-sweaty, ironed laundry, seawater Animal(ic) typical notes from the animal kingdom, e.g., musk, castoreum, skatole, civet, ambergris Ba...

Advantages:  No other additional costs. Disadvantages:  It is impossible for people to watch 24 hours. After all, they have to be busy with their own affairs. -  Reflective Tape to Repel Birds Pulling this kind of reflective ribbon in the orchard stimulates the eyes of birds through the reflected sunlight to achieve the effect of repelling birds. Advantages:  the method is simple and easy to implement, and does not require a large cost. Disadvantages:  The effect of repelling birds is more obvious under sunny conditions; after a long period of use, the effect will be greatly reduced when ...
