Metabolite Identification
Common Namexi-3-Heptanol
Descriptionxi-3-Heptanol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as secondary alcohols. Secondary alcohols are compounds containing a secondary alcohol functional group, with the general structure HOC(R)(R') (R,R'=alkyl, aryl). Thus, XI-3-heptanol is considered to be a fatty alcohol. xi-3-Heptanol is a bitter, herbal, and powerful tasting compound. xi-3-Heptanol is found, on average, in the highest concentration within peppermints (Mentha X piperita). xi-3-Heptanol has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as black tea, evergreen blackberries (Rubus laciniatus), soy beans (Glycine max), green tea, and rabbiteye blueberries (Vaccinium virgatum). This could make XI-3-heptanol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on xi-3-Heptanol.
