Metabolite Identification
Common NameHexyl benzoate
DescriptionHexyl benzoate belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzoic acid esters. These are ester derivatives of benzoic acid. Hexyl benzoate is a balsam, clean, and fresh tasting compound. Hexyl benzoate has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as black tea, red tea, milk and milk products, herbal tea, and teas (Camellia sinensis). This could make hexyl benzoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Hexyl benzoate.
