Metabolite Identification
Common NameAllyl alcohol
DescriptionAllyl alcohol, also known as 2-propen-1-ol or vinyl carbinol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as primary alcohols. Primary alcohols are compounds comprising the primary alcohol functional group, with the general structure RCOH (R=alkyl, aryl). Allyl alcohol exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Allyl alcohol is a mustard and pungent tasting compound. Allyl alcohol is found, on average, in the highest concentration within soft-necked garlics (Allium sativum L. var. sativum). Allyl alcohol has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as sourdough, spelts (Triticum spelta), pummelos (Citrus maxima), mustard spinaches (Brassica perviridis), and breakfast cereal. This could make allyl alcohol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Allyl alcohol is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on Allyl alcohol.
