Methyl eugenol (allylveratrol ) is a natural chemical compound classified as a phenylpropene , a type of phenylpropanoid . It is the methyl ether of eugenol and is important to insect behavior and pollination .[2] essential oils .
Methyl eugenol is found in a number of plants (over 450 species from 80 families including both angiosperm and gymnosperm families) and has a role in attracting pollinators. About 350 plant species have them as a component of floral fragrance. Their ability to attract insects, particularly Bactrocera Bactrocera dorsalis F. M. Howlett . The compound may have evolved in response to pathogens, as methyl eugenol has some antifungal activity. It also repels many insects.[3]
As of October 2018, the US FDA withdrew authorization for the use of methyl eugenol as a synthetic flavoring substance for use in food because petitioners (including the Natural Resources Defense Council , the Center for Food Safety , and the Center for Science in the Public Interest ) provided data demonstrating that these additives induce cancer in laboratory animals.[4] [5]
In European Union member states, starting in 2021, any product that contains more than 0.01% of Methyl Eugenol must contain a label to this effect this as per the CLP regulation (Regulation (EC ) No 1272/2008 ) [6] [failed verification
