Description

Methyl anthranilate, also known as methyl 2-aminobenzoate, is a naturally occurring organic compound that is found in a variety of plants and fruits. It has a sweet, grape-like aroma and is commonly used as a flavoring agent in foods and beverages. Methyl anthranilate is also used in the manufacture of perfumes, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. The compound can be synthesized through various methods, including the reaction of anthranilic acid with methanol in the presence of an acid catalyst. Research on methyl anthranilate is ongoing due to its potential applications in various fields. For example, it has been studied for its antimicrobial properties, its ability to act as a natural insecticide, and its potential use in the treatment of certain diseases. Methyl anthranilate is also of interest to researchers studying the sensory perception of flavor and aroma.'

Research Excerpts

Overview

Methyl anthranilate is a simple, sensitive, and inexpensive liquid scintillant for fluorographic detection of weak beta-emitting isotopes on chromatograms.

Effects

Methyl anthranilate (MeA) has been widely used as a taste aversant for domestic chicks in the one-trial passive avoidance learning (PAL) task. MeA may be best suited for use in a push-pull control strategy.
