Metabolite Identification
Common Name1-Phenylethanol
Description1-Phenylethanol, also known as styrallyl alcohol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzene and substituted derivatives. These are aromatic compounds containing one monocyclic ring system consisting of benzene. 1-Phenylethanol is a sweet, acetophenone, and fresh tasting compound. 1-Phenylethanol has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as green onion, alcoholic beverages, cocoa and cocoa products, red onion, and herbal tea. This could make 1-phenylethanol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 1-Phenylethanol 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 a significant number of articles have been published on 1-Phenylethanol.
