Metabolite Identification
Common Name1,2-Epoxy-p-menth-8-ene
Description1,2-Epoxy-p-menth-8-ene, also known as 1,2-epoxylimonene or limonene 1,2-oxide, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as oxepanes. Oxepanes are compounds containing an oxepane ring, which is a seven-member saturated aliphatic heterocycle with one oxygen and six carbon atoms. 1,2-Epoxy-p-menth-8-ene is a green tasting compound. 1,2-Epoxy-p-menth-8-ene has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as celery stalks (Apium graveolens var. dulce), lemons (Citrus limon), and wild celeries (Apium graveolens). This could make 1,2-epoxy-p-menth-8-ene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 1,2-Epoxy-p-menth-8-ene 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 a significant number of articles have been published on 1,2-Epoxy-p-menth-8-ene.
