Methyl Benzoate is a benzoate ester that has a wide range of applications in various industries. Because of its strong fruity smell, it is majorly used in manufacturing perfumes and various other fragrances. It is also used as a component in the production of various cosmetic preparations. It is a compound that occurs naturally, due to which it finds broad applications in enhancing the flavor of various food products like vanilla beans, nuts, and rum flavors. It is also used as an intermediate in manufacturing pigments and dyes.

The market for Methyl Benzoate is majorly led by its application as a food additive, which largely contributes to its demand in the food industry. Its applications in flavoring and perfumery further promote its demand in the food and fragrance industries. Its usage in manufacturing a variety of cosmetic products increases its demand in the cosmetic industry. Its usage in the production of pigments and synthetic dyestuffs also promotes its market growth. Moreover, the availability of raw materials (benzoic acid, etc.), its applications in the fragrance industry, its usage in flavorings, quality standards, and supplier relationships as some of the factors that majorly influence industrial Methyl Benzoate procurement worldwide.

Raw Material for Methyl Benzoate Production

According to the Methyl Benzoate manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Methyl Benzoate production include Benzoic Acid-Methanol.

Manufacturing Process of Methyl Benzoate

The extensive Methyl Benzoate production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

• Production via Esterification: This method of production involves the process of direct esterification of benzoic acid and methanol to produce methyl benzoate as the ester compound. The synthesis is initiated by heating methanol and benzoic acid in the presence of sulfuric acid as the catalyst in a reaction tank, which results in the formation of methyl benzoate (ester) as the final product.

Methyl Benzoate is an organic compound that mainly comprises eight carbon, eight hydrogen, and two oxygen atoms. It is a liquid compound with a molecular weight of 136.15 g/mol. Its chemical formula is represented as C6H5COOCH3. It is a transparent chemical with a characteristic fragrant fruit-like odor. Its melting and boiling point is measured around -12.35 °C and 199 °C, respectively. Its flash point is measured around 83 °C. Its density can be measured around 1.0837 g/cm3 at 25 °C. It is a toxic liquid that can cause irritation when exposed to the eyes and skin. It is insoluble in water and glycerol. However, the liquid can be dissolved in other chemical solvents, including carbon tetrachloride, ethanol, methanol, and more. Similarly, it is miscible in compounds such as diethyl ether. The chemical decomposes on heating while emitting toxic fumes of carbon oxides.
