Metabolite Identification
Common Name3-Methylbutyrolactone
Description3-Methylbutyrolactone belongs to the class of organic compounds known as gamma butyrolactones. Gamma butyrolactones are compounds containing a gamma butyrolactone moiety, which consists of an aliphatic five-member ring with four carbon atoms, one oxygen atom, and bears a ketone group on the carbon adjacent to the oxygen atom. 3-Methylbutyrolactone has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as anatidaes (Anatidae), chickens (Gallus gallus), domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica), and pulses. This could make 3-methylbutyrolactone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on 3-Methylbutyrolactone.
