Metabolite Identification
Common NameBenzenepropanenitrile
DescriptionBenzenepropanenitrile, also known as 2-phenylethyl cyanide or (2-cyanoethyl)benzene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzene and substituted derivatives. These are aromatic compounds containing one monocyclic ring system consisting of benzene. Benzenepropanenitrile has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as herbs and spices, cauliflowers (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis), cabbages (Brassica oleracea var. capitata), broccolis (Brassica oleracea var. italica), and brassicas. This could make benzenepropanenitrile a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Benzenepropanenitrile.
