Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-Methylpropyl benzoate
Description2-Methylpropyl benzoate, also known as benzoic acid isobutyl ester, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzoic acid esters. These are ester derivatives of benzoic acid. 2-Methylpropyl benzoate is a sweet, balsam, and fruity tasting compound. 2-Methylpropyl benzoate has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as alcoholic beverages, cocoa and cocoa products, cocoa beans (Theobroma cacao), and fruits. This could make 2-methylpropyl benzoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 2-Methylpropyl benzoate 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 2-Methylpropyl benzoate.
