  • Applications

    Methyl Anthranilate (CAS 134-20-3) is an ester used as an aroma ingredient in perfumery and cosmetics, often acting as an odorant or fixative to stabilize and extend fragrance. In food and beverage contexts, it is described as having a grape-like aroma and may be used as an aroma/flavor ingredient in certain formulations, subject to safety and labeling regulations. In household products and personal care, it is used as a fragrance component in items such as perfumes, soaps, laundry detergents, and air fresheners. In agriculture, methyl anthranilate is employed as a bird repellent to protect crops and produce from avian damage. In industrial manufacturing, it can serve as an intermediate or a fragrance-related precursor in the synthesis of other aroma compounds used in plastics and coatings, depending on formulation and local regulatory allowances.
