Metabolite Identification
Common Name3-Methylbutyl benzoate
Description3-Methylbutyl benzoate belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzoic acid esters. These are ester derivatives of benzoic acid. 3-Methylbutyl benzoate is a sweet, balsamic, and green tasting compound. 3-Methylbutyl benzoate has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as alcoholic beverages, cocoa and cocoa products, cocoa beans (Theobroma cacao), fruits, and papayas (Carica papaya). This could make 3-methylbutyl benzoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on 3-Methylbutyl benzoate.
