Descripción

General description

Methyl benzoate (MB) belongs to the class of benzenoid esters. It exists as a naturally occurring compound in a variety of plants including freshwater fern Salvinia molesta, Antirrhinum genus species, etc. MB extracted from the fermented apple juice is reported to possess toxicity against an invasive fruit fly, identified as Drosophila suzukii Matsumura.

This substance is listed on the positive list of the EU regulation 10/2011 for plastics intended to come into contact with food. Find all available reference materials for compounds listed in 10/2011 here

Application

Methyl benzoate may be used as an extraction solvent for extracting and preconcentrating benzimidazole fungicides in water samples prior to their determination by high-performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array detection (HPLC-PDA). It may also be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in Rosa hybrida using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry technique (GC-MS).
