| | METHYL LAURATE Usage And Synthesis |
| Description | Methyl laurate has a fatty, floral odor reminiscent of wine. It can be used as a flavor ingredient in foods and pharmaceuticals, and as fragrance in perfumes. As an intermediate, methyl laurate is used for detergents, emulsifier, wetting agents, stabilizers, lubricants, plasticizers, textiles, plastics, and cosmetics. It can also be used as lubricant in textile spin finishes and emollient in cosmetics. It can be used as solvent, co-solvent, oil carrier for agric, pesticides and herbicides. It is also used as defoamer in food-contact coatings and paper/paperboards and it is used in resin-bonded filters for food contact.

| | Description | Methyl laurate has a fatty, floral odor reminiscent of wine. May
be prepared by prolonged boiling of lauric acid with methanol in
the presence of sulfuric acid. Methyl Laurate is a flavour ketone produced in a reaction biocatalyzed by microencapsulated fungal spores. Also used in production of biodiesel. | | Chemical Properties | Methyl laurate has a fatty, floral odor reminiscent of wine. | | Chemical Properties | clear colorless to slightly yellow liquid | | Occurrence | Reported found in orris absolute, strawberry, apple, bilberry, rum, coconut, grapes, melon, papaya, pineapple, blackberry, mustard, cheeses, hop oil, cognac, white wine, cocoa, oats, plumcot, elderberry juice, loquat, babaco fruit
(Carica pentagona Heilborn), Bourbon vanilla, mountain papaya, Chinese cabbage, mussels, cape gooseberry, pawpaw, banana,
berries and blue cheese | | Uses | Methyl dodecanoate used in production of biodiesel. It has been used in selective synthesis of the secondary amide surfactant, N-methyl lauroylethanolamide. It is also utilized as emollients, perfuming agents skin conditioning. | | Uses | Methyl laurate has been used in selective synthesis of the secondary amide surfactant, N-methyl lauroylethanolamide. | | Definition | ChEBI: A fatty acid methyl ester of lauric acid. | | Taste threshold values | Taste characteristics at 20 ppm: waxy, creamy, fatty with soapy, coconut nuances | | Synthesis Reference(s) | The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 54, p. 1213, 1989 DOI: 10.1021/jo00266a046
