• CAS 99-76-3 Methylparaben

  Chemical properties    Methylparaben is a colorless crystalline powder with a faint characteristic odor and a slight burning taste. It is slightly soluble in water but easily dissolves in ethanol, ether, acetone, and other organic solvents. One gram can dissolve in 2.5 ml of ethanol, approximately 4 ml of propylene glycol, or 400 ml of water at 25°C or about 50 ml of water at 80°C. It is commonly used as a fungistat in soft drinks, non-leavened bakery products, and other products, with a permissible level of up to 0.1%. To inhibit Gram-positive bacteria, 1000 to 4000 ppm are required, and its effectiveness increases with decreasing pH, similar to benzoates.
