Methyl Isoeugenol (CAS: 93-16-3) is a versatile fragrance and flavor compound found naturally in the essential oils of various plants such as calamus, ginger, nutmeg, carnation, clove, and tuberose. In its natural state, this compound is a clear liquid ranging from colorless to pale yellow. It is considered a perfect raw material that acts as a bridge between spicy and floral notes, bringing warmth and richness to fragrance formulations.
Regarding its olfactory characteristics, Methyl Isoeugenol offers a sweet, warm, and mildly spicy clove scent, blended with the elegant characteristic notes of carnation and a hint of wood. Notably, it provides a soft, refined sweet-spiciness that is much less harsh than traditional eugenol. Furthermore, this compound possesses excellent tenacity, acting as a highly effective heart note and fixative (Please note: The specific detail of lasting "240 hours on a smelling strip" is not explicitly mentioned in the provided sources and should be independently verified).
In the fragrance and cosmetics industry, Methyl Isoeugenol is an indispensable ingredient for constructing classic carnation accords and oriental perfumes, or for adding warmth to floral notes without overpowering the main floral theme. Beyond high-end fine fragrances, it is widely applied to impart luxurious scents to personal care products such as soaps, lotions, and shampoos, as well as scented candles and household cleaning products.
In the food industry, Methyl Isoeugenol is recognized by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and JECFA as a safe food flavoring agent. Characterized by its warm, spicy, woody, and resinous taste, it is used to enhance the flavor profiles of baked goods, non-alcoholic beverages, candies, chewing gum, and various condiments.
Regarding its physical properties and safety considerations, Methyl Isoeugenol is insoluble in water but soluble in ethanol, organic solvents, and oils. The International Fragrance Association (IFRA) evaluates it as having no known restrictions. However, users must still adhere to safety guidelines when handling the pure chemical. The product may be harmful if swallowed, cause skin irritation, and pose a risk of an allergic skin reaction (H317). It should be stored in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. During handling, workers must wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including protective gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing.
