Methyl Anthranilate is an ester of anthranilic acid that occurs naturally in Concord grapes, jasmine, and other fruits and flowers. It is the key compound responsible for the characteristic flavor and aroma of grape-flavored foods and beverages. In food manufacturing, it is used at low concentrations to create authentic grape, berry, and tropical fruit flavor profiles.
Methyl Anthranilate is a pale yellow liquid with excellent solubility in alcohol and oils. This makes it easy to incorporate into both aqueous and lipid-based formulations. It remains stable through most standard food processing conditions and is approved for use as a flavoring substance in major markets worldwide.
