Metabolite Identification
Common Name1,2-Benzoquinone
Description1,2-Benzoquinone, also known as catechol quinone or O-quinone, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as o-benzoquinones. These are benzoquinones where the two C=O groups are attached at the 1- and 2-positions, respectively. 1,2-Benzoquinone has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as chickens (Gallus gallus), green tea, red tea, domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica), and black tea. This could make 1,2-benzoquinone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on 1,2-Benzoquinone.
