Metabolite Identification
Common NamePentyl acetate
DescriptionPentyl acetate, also known as amyl acetic ester or amyl acetic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboxylic acid esters. These are carboxylic acid derivatives in which the carbon atom from the carbonyl group is attached to an alkyl or an aryl moiety through an oxygen atom (forming an ester group). Pentyl acetate is a banana, ethereal, and fruity tasting compound. Pentyl acetate has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as blackberries (Rubus), asian pears (Pyrus pyrifolia), apples (Malus pumila), papayas (Carica papaya), and cocoa beans (Theobroma cacao). This could make pentyl acetate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Pentyl acetate 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 Pentyl acetate.
