Metabolite Identification

Common Name

Benzyl butyl ether

Description

Benzyl butyl ether belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzylethers. These are aromatic ethers with the general formula ROCR' (R = alkyl, aryl; R'=benzene). Benzyl butyl ether is a floral and rose tasting compound. Benzyl butyl ether has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as common mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus), mushrooms, nuts, and oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus). This could make benzyl butyl ether a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on Benzyl butyl ether.
