A soft, sweet floral-fruity aroma strongly reminiscent of concord grape and orange blossom, with a slightly powdery neroli-like facet. Less sharp and more rounded than methyl anthranilate, with a characteristic candied grape sweetness that persists into the drydown.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Colorless or pale straw-colored liquid.

Solubility

Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and perfume oils, poorly soluble in Propylene glycol.

Odor

Sweet and soft fruity-floral odor, reminiscent of Petitgrain or Mandarin-petitgrain oils.

Flavor

Grape-like (Concord type), winey and sweet taste of considerable power.

Uses in perfumery

This ester has found a little use in perfume compositions as a variant of the conventional 'Orangeblossom'-type of Anthranilates. It blends excellently with the Citrus oils, in Fougére themes, in Lavender fantasy compositions, in Magnolia and Honeysuckle and many other heavy floral bases.

Uses in flavor

The ester could find use in flavor compositions, not only for Grape and Mandarin, but for many types of fruit, and in the popular 'Tutti-fruti' theme. Its great power and tenacity gives it advantages for use in hot-processed candy or other food products.

Production

Produced from N-Methylanthranilic acid and Ethyl alcohol, by azeotropic type esterification, or: by Methylation of Ethyl anthranilate with Dimethyl sulfate.
