Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-Methylpentanal
Description2-Methylpentanal belongs to the class of organic compounds known as organic oxides. These are organic compounds containing an oxide group. 2-Methylpentanal is an ethereal, fruity, and green tasting compound. 2-Methylpentanal has been detected, but not quantified in, garden onions (Allium cepa). This could make 2-methylpentanal a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on 2-Methylpentanal.
