Metabolite Identification
Common NameMethyl (±)-3-hydroxyhexanoate
DescriptionMethyl (±)-3-hydroxyhexanoate, also known as methyl-b-hydroxyhexanoic acid or fema 3508, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as beta hydroxy acids and derivatives. Beta hydroxy acids and derivatives are compounds containing a carboxylic acid substituted with a hydroxyl group on the C3 carbon atom. Methyl (±)-3-hydroxyhexanoate is found, on average, in the highest concentration within pineapples (Ananas comosus). This could make methyl (±)-3-hydroxyhexanoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Methyl (±)-3-hydroxyhexanoate.
