Additionally, methyl eugenol has applications in the food industry as a flavoring agent in a variety of foods and beverages. However, due to concerns about its safety in large quantities, its use is regulated in many regions. In scientific research, its bioactive properties are studied, including antimicrobial and antioxidant effects, which expands its relevance in the field of chemistry and biology.
