Methyl Anthranilate

Methyl Anthranilate is an organic compound. It’s a methyl ester of anthranilic acid, and it’s known for its strong, fruity, grape-like odour.

It is strong and sweet; reminiscent of grape Kool-Aid or Concord grapes.

Methyl Anthranilate occurs naturally in several plants, including Concord Grapes, Oranges, Jasmine, Gardenia & Strawberry.

Typical Uses:

• Flavoring agent: Common in candy, soda, and chewing gum, especially grape-flavored products.
• Fragrance industry: Used in perfumes and cosmetics for its sweet, floral note.
• Bird repellent: Acts as a natural bird deterrent in agriculture, often sprayed on crops (non-toxic to humans)
