Product application

Eugenol has a strong musky smell of carnation, which is the basis for the blending of health and heart flavors. It is used in the blending of cosmetics, soap and food flavors. Eugenol has strong bactericidal power, and can be used as a local analgesic for caries, and has local antiseptic effect. Eugenol is an intermediate of some other spices. Its derivatives include isoeugenol, methyl eugenol, methyl isoeugenol, acetyl eugenol, acetyl eugenol, benzyl isoeugenol, etc. When eugenol is heated in potassium hydroxide, the double bond of the allyl group is rearranged into the α-allyl group conjugated with the benzene ring, resulting in isoeugenol. After acetylation and mild oxidation, the α-allyl group is broken, and vanillin is obtained, which is the main component of an important artificial flavor agent.
