Metabolite Identification
Common NameN-Methylformamide
DescriptionN-Methylformamide, also known as HCONHCH3 or NMF, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboximidic acids. These are organic acids with the general formula RC(=N)-OH (R=H, organic group). N-Methylformamide has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as anatidaes (Anatidae), chickens (Gallus gallus), and domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica). This could make N-methylformamide a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on N-Methylformamide.
