Information Profile @ a Glance
-
Methyl salicylate has a fragrant, minty smell that has made it a
favorite flavoring in candies. It is also the major constituent of oil
of wintergreen, making up over 90% of the essential oil from the
wintergreen plant
-
Methyl salicylate is a liquid at room temperature and is relatively
insoluble in water. It is also quite toxic
-
Most methyl salicylate used in foods is made synthetically, a cheaper
process than its extraction from wintergreen leaves or sweet birch
bark
-
Methyl salicylate (MS) is used as a fragrance and flavoring agent but
is lethal at sufficient doses and is teratogenic in rodents.
-
Methyl salicylate is manufactured from the steam distillation of
macerated leaves from the low growing plant, Gaultheria procumbens
Lime. or from the bark of Betula lenta (Sweet Birch).
-
Methyl salicylate can also be derived synthetically, and this
synthetic variety of methyl salicylate is considered to be
structurally and functionally equivalent to the naturally occurring
Oil of Wintergreen
-
The pesticidal uses of methyl salicylate include vertebrate repellent
on terrestrial and greenhouse food crops and as an insect repellent
when incorporated into a coating on the internal and outer surfaces
of cartons used to store consumer products like human and pet foods,
animal feeds and nonfood items such as clothing and textiles.
