Methyl Benzoate is an important organic compound, appearing as a colorless, transparent oily liquid at room temperature with a strong, fruity aroma similar to wintergreen oil (methyl salicylate). It occurs naturally in essential oils of various plants (such as clove oil and ylang-ylang oil) and fruits.

As a versatile chemical, its primary applications include use as a food flavoring and daily chemical fragrance, commonly blended into strawberry, grape, and other fruity scents for beverages, candies, cosmetics, and soaps. In the industrial sector, it also serves as an excellent high-boiling-point organic solvent for dissolving cellulose esters, resins, and oils. Furthermore, it is an important organic synthesis intermediate in chemical production, used to produce other benzoate derivatives, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals.
