Metabolite Identification
Common NameDimethicone
DescriptionDimethicone, also known as ((CH3)3Si)2O or HMDSO, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as disiloxanes. These are organosilicon compounds with the general formula H[Si](R)(R')O[Si](H)(R'')R''' (R= organyl, R'-R'''= H or organyl). Dimethicone is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as carobs, lettuces, and common salsifies. Dimethicone has also been detected, but not quantified, in several different foods, such as black walnuts, sweet bay, asparagus, ceylon cinnamons, and hyssops. This could make dimethicone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. An organosiloxane consisting of two trimethylsilyl groups covalently bound to a central oxygen.
