Well, I'm surprised that your grape flavor contains methanol (hazardous) and esters; I would've expected mainly methyl anthranilate, one of the few common flavors that contains nitrogen.
We assayed flavors and fragrances routinely by GC and GCMS, saw diluents like dipropylene glycol, not methanol or esters.
I found this sentence:
"The hydrolysis products of methyl anthranilate are methyl alcohol and anthranilic acid".
I have a doubt.. before inject the sample in the GC, I destilled the sample.. Are this distillation able to hydrolysed the methyl anthranilate?
Maybe the methyl anthranilate was hydrolysed in the grape flavour?
Please, help me...
What do you think?
