Metabolite Identification
Common NameBiphenyl
DescriptionBiphenyl, also known as 1,1'-diphenyl or phenylbenzene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as biphenyls and derivatives. These are organic compounds containing to benzene rings linked together by a C-C bond. Biphenyl is a geranium, green, and pungent tasting compound. Biphenyl is found, on average, in the highest concentration within wild carrots (Daucus carota) and carrots (Daucus carota ssp. sativus). Biphenyl has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as cocoa and cocoa products, milk and milk products, cocoa beans (Theobroma cacao), lovages (Levisticum officinale), and breakfast cereal. This could make biphenyl a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Biphenyl is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review a small amount of articles have been published on Biphenyl.
