Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-Hydroxybenzaldehyde
Description2-Hydroxybenzaldehyde, also known as salicylal or O-formylphenol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hydroxybenzaldehydes. These are organic aromatic compounds containing a benzene ring carrying an aldehyde group and a hydroxyl group. 2-Hydroxybenzaldehyde is a cinnamon, cooling, and medical tasting compound. 2-Hydroxybenzaldehyde is found, on average, in the highest concentration within peppermints. 2-Hydroxybenzaldehyde has also been detected, but not quantified, in several different foods, such as common buckwheats, garden tomato (var.), herbs and spices, and tea. This could make 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 2-Hydroxybenzaldehyde is a potentially toxic compound.
