 Odorant found in virgin olive oil and green olives.
 |  | [Definition] 
 ChEBI: Methyl cyclohexanecarboxylate is a methyl ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of cyclohexanecarboxylic acid with methanol. It has a role as a human metabolite and a flavouring agent. It is a methyl ester and a volatile organic compound. It is functionally related to a cyclohexanecarboxylic acid.
 |  | [Preparation] 
 Prepared in 65% overall yield from a two-step procedure starting with readily available chlorocyclohexane.
 |  | [Taste threshold values] 
 Taste characteristics at 20 ppm: cooling, sweet, fruity and floral
