Metabolite Identification
Common Name3-Heptanone
Description3-Heptanone, also known as aethylbutylketon, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as ketones. These are organic compounds in which a carbonyl group is bonded to two carbon atoms R2C=O (neither R may be a hydrogen atom). Ketones that have one or more alpha-hydrogen atoms undergo keto-enol tautomerization, the tautomer being an enol. Thus, 3-heptanone is considered to be an oxygenated hydrocarbon. 3-Heptanone is a fatty, fruity, and green tasting compound. 3-Heptanone has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as corns (Zea mays), spearmints (Mentha spicata), and sweet cherries (Prunus avium). This could make 3-heptanone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 3-Heptanone 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 3-Heptanone.
