What is Methyl Sorbate CAS 689-89-4?

Methyl Sorbate CAS 689-89-4 is a colorless to pale yellow liquid characterized by a pleasant fruity odor. It is produced by esterifying sorbic acid with methanol and retains the conjugated double bonds responsible for its chemical reactivity and preservative potential. Its volatility and natural aroma make it useful in flavor and fragrance formulations, while its mild antimicrobial activity supports its use as a stabilizer in food, cosmetic, and industrial applications.
