Description

General description

Methyl eugenol is one of the main constituents of the essential oil of Ocimum species. It is also an attractant for the oriental fruit flies.

Application

• Development of broad-spectrum immunoassay with monoclonal antibody to detect five eugenols and study of their molecular recognition mechanism.: This article presents a new immunoassay using a monoclonal antibody designed to detect multiple eugenol derivatives including methyl eugenol, offering insights into their molecular interactions and potential applications in food safety and pharmaceutical analysis (Luo et al., 2024).
