Methyl ester - Import export

Methyl jasmonate is an organic ester that occurs naturally in plants and acts as a plant hormone. It appears as a colorless liquid with a floral and herbaceous aroma. This compound plays a crucial role in defending plants against biotic (such as insects and pathogens) and abiotic (such as adverse environmental conditions) stresses. In addition to its role in the defense response of plants, methyl jasmonate is used in the perfumery and cosmetics industry for its characteristic fragrance that provides green and floral notes to aromatic compositions. It is also studied in agriculture as a potential regulator of plant growth and as a means of improving the resistance of crops to stressors. Its versatility in different applications makes it an important compound in scientific research and industry.

Methyl salicylate, also known as wintergreen oil or methyl salicylate, is an organic ester with a strong, characteristic mint aroma. It is found naturally in wintergreen leaves and sweet birch, although it can also be synthesized. This compound is widely used in personal care products such as ointments, creams and liniments, due to its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, providing temporary relief from muscle and joint pain. In addition, methylsalicylate is used in the formulation of mouthwashes, toothpastes and aromatic products due to its refreshing fragrance. In the food industry, it is used in small quantities as a flavoring in chewing gum, candy, and other products. However, due to its potency, it must be handled with care to avoid toxicity.
