| Description | Methyl cinnamate, also known as fema 2698, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as cinnamic acid esters. These are compound containing an ester derivative of cinnamic acid. Methyl cinnamate is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Methyl cinnamate is a sweet, balsam, and cherry tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Methyl cinnamate is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as sweet basils, cumins, and safflowers. Methyl cinnamate has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as pepper (spice), fruits, peppermints, chinese cinnamons, and sweet bay. This could make methyl cinnamate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. It is known to attract males of various orchid bees, such as Aglae caerulea. The oral LD50 for rats is 2610 mg/kg. Methyl cinnamate is the methyl ester of cinnamic acid and is a white or transparent solid with a strong, aromatic odor. White Ruffle (Crespa blanca)Stanhopea embreei, an orchidVanillaModerately toxic by ingestion. The flavor is fruity and strawberry-like; and the odor is sweet, balsamic with fruity odor, reminiscent of cinnamon and strawberry. Methyl cinnamate is found in Alpinia formosana, Alpinia mutica, Alpinia spp. , Alpinia zerumbet, Aragoa lucidula, Artemisia judaica, Artemisia salsoloides, Balanophora fungosa, Conocephalum conicum, Eucalyptus delegatensis, Lindera erythrocarpa, Lychnophora ericoides , Melaleuca viridiflora, Ocotea quixos, Narcissus tazetta, Neolentinus lepideus, Ocimum, Ocimum gratissimum, Ocotea odorifera, Ozothamnus diosmifolius, Paeonia lactiflora, Pimenta racemosa, Plumeria rubra, Spiraea thunbergii, Trifolium pratense, Zanthoxylum armatum and Zanthoxylum piperitum.
