Metabolite Identification
Common NameDibenzyl ether
DescriptionDibenzyl ether, also known as benzyl oxide or fema 2371, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzylethers. These are aromatic ethers with the general formula ROCR' (R = alkyl, aryl; R'=benzene). Dibenzyl ether is a sweet, almond, and cherry tasting compound. Dibenzyl ether has been detected, but not quantified, in dills. This could make dibenzyl ether a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
