Product Description

--Product Introduction--

Methyl cinnamate is chemically known as methyl phenylpropenoate, is an organic compound with a strong sweet and spicy aroma. It is widely used in the fragrance, cosmetic, food additive, and pharmaceutical industries. Its CAS number is 103-26-4. Methyl cinnamate can be naturally derived from certain plant essential oils or synthesized chemically. Due to its unique aromatic profile, it is extensively utilized in perfumery and as a flavoring agent in the food industry.

Applications and Uses

• Fragrance and Perfumery: Methyl cinnamate is prized for its warm and inviting scent, making it a popular ingredient in high-end perfumes, air fresheners, and scented products. It adds depth and complexity to fragrances.
• Food Additives: As a safe and effective flavor enhancer, it is used in various food products to impart sweet and spicy notes. Common applications include candies, beverages, baked goods, and confectionery items.
• Cosmetics and Skincare: Beyond its pleasant aroma, methyl cinnamate exhibits mild antioxidant properties, which can help protect the skin from free radical damage. It is often included in skincare formulations for its dual benefits.
• Pharmaceuticals: Research has shown that methyl cinnamate may possess anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, making it a potential candidate for developing new therapeutic agents.

Differences Between Methyl Cinnamate and Ethyl Cinnamate

While both methyl cinnamate and ethyl cinnamate (CAS No. 203-475-9) belong to the cinnamate ester family, they have distinct differences in their chemical structure, properties, and applications:

1. Chemical Structure:

   • Methyl cinnamate has a methyl group (-CH3) attached to the carboxyl ester, while ethyl cinnamate has an ethyl group (-CH2CH3).

2. Aroma Profile:

   • Methyl cinnamate has a sharper, sweeter, and more intense spicy aroma, making it ideal for bold fragrance compositions.
   • Ethyl cinnamate, on the other hand, has a softer and slightly less intense scent, which makes it suitable for milder aromatic blends.

3. Volatility:

   • Methyl cinnamate is more volatile due to its smaller molecular size, meaning it evaporates faster and releases its fragrance more quickly.
   • Ethyl cinnamate is less volatile, providing a longer-lasting scent that dissipates more slowly.

4. Applications:

   • Methyl cinnamate is preferred in applications where a strong initial burst of fragrance is desired, such as in perfumes and air fresheners.
   • Ethyl cinnamate is often used in products where a sustained, subtle release of aroma is needed, such as in candles, soaps, and long-lasting fragrances.

5. Solubility:

   • Methyl cinnamate tends to be slightly more soluble in alcohol-based solutions, making it a better choice for alcoholic perfumes and flavor concentrates.
   • Ethyl cinnamate has better solubility in non-polar solvents, which makes it more suitable for oil-based formulations.
