FEMA 2769

FEMA 2769 - Premium Methyl Salicylate for Industrial Flavor Applications 

With over 11 years of specialized manufacturing experience and 20+ years of natural ingredient extraction competence, Kang Biotech provides industrial-grade FEMA 2769 (Methyl Salicylate). Our 33,000 m² manufacturing facility with 9 modern lines guaranties constant batch quality with 99.0% purity validated by GC-FID/MS analysis. Our product is GRAS, ISO 9001, ISO 22000, HACCP, Halal, Kosher, and FCC compliant. In 40+ countries, our comprehensive quality control system ensures steady supply for high-volume confectionery, oral care, and pharmaceutical flavor applications.

What is FEMA 2769?

The Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association has deemed Methyl Salicylate Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS). The taste and fragrance industries utilize this molecule as the chemical standard for wintergreen.

B2B applications tackle industrial issues. It hides bitter medicinal actives. Strong sensory cooling without menthol's volatility. Continuous organoleptic standardization benefits high-volume manufacturing processes.

Technical Specifications

Physical and Chemical Properties

Our product is a colorless to slightly yellowish liquid with a distinct, sweet, minty smell. The ester produced by condensation of methanol and salicylic acid has the molecular formula C8H8O3 and a molecular weight of 152.15 g/mol.

Special physical characteristics function well. The boiling point is at 222°C, ensuring high-temperature processing stability. At 20°C, refractive index is 1.535–1.538 and specific gravity is 1.180–1.185.

Good thermal stability during food processing helps your formulations. It dissolves well in alcohol and glacial acetic acid. FCC and USP/NF compliance ensures regulatory trust. Even at modest inclusion rates, the powerful aromatic profile works.

Industrial Applications

FEMA 2769 integrates into three high-performance scenarios:

Premium mouthwashes and toothpastes use it as a flavoring and synergistic antibacterial. When taken with eucalyptol and thymol, it works better. Your oral care products become clean and therapeutic, evoking professional hygiene.

Sweets and gum: High boiling point suited for high-heat candy extrusion. Our substance releases flavor longer than lighter mint oils, which flash off after processing. Your chewing gum compositions satisfy consumers with extended sensory performance.

Topical drugs: Lozenges and syrups need its clear smell. Is stable in complicated aqueous-ethanol delivery systems. Your pharmaceutical formulations satisfy flavor and function with one ingredient.

Quality Control Standards

Purity and lack of harmful antecedents are carefully checked in our product. Our thorough testing methodology includes:

Gas Chromatography (GC-FID/MS): We detect trace contaminants like phenol and free salicylic acid while maintaining 99.0% purity. Complete compositional analysis is done on each batch.

Acid Value Testing: Essential for shelf-life prediction. High acidity means ester hydrolysis. Our rigorous boundaries keep your products stable over time.

Fast benchmarks like Refractive Index and Specific Gravity assess batch-to-batch uniformity. Your procurement team always gets consistent stuff.

Heavy Metal Analysis: We follow FCC lead (Pb) and arsenic (As) limitations. Without compromise, your goods fulfill worldwide safety requirements.

Organoleptic Evaluation: Trained panels detect no burned or phenolic notes. These flaws can result from poor synthetic esterification. Our quality staff finds them before shipping.

Packaging and Logistics

We provide flexible packaging for your order volume. Standard packaging comprises 25 kilogram drums for normal orders. Our OEM/ODM services include custom packaging.

FedEx delivers small trial orders quickly. Bulk business orders use air or sea freight based on timing and cost. Our logistics staff works with your reception schedule to deliver smoothly.

Our minimum order size is 1 kilogram, and formulation development samples are accepted.

FAQ

Q: What is the shelf life of the product?

A: It has a 24-month shelf life in unopened, sealed containers away from light and heat. Proper preservation preserves organoleptic and chemical qualities.

Q: Is the product naturally derived or synthetic?

A: The natural source is wintergreen and birch, however synthetic esterification is used for industrial purity. We can supply natural-identical certifications for market positioning.

Q: How does the product react in high pH environments?

A: Alkalinity (pH > 8) hydrolyzes it into methanol and salicylic acid. Stability requires neutral to slightly acidic pH from your formulators.

Q: What are the regulatory limits in beverages?

A: The FEMA GRAS recommends 35-60 ppm in non-alcoholic drinks. Product type and market laws determine category boundaries.

Q: Does it require special storage materials?

A: You may store in stainless steel, aluminum, or dark glass. Avoid iron or reactive metals to avoid phenol-metal complexation discolouration. Quality is declining with purple tinting.
