Metabolite Identification
Common NameMethyl 3-(methylthio)propanoate
DescriptionMethyl 3-(methylthio)propanoate, also known as methyl beta -methylmercaptopropionate or fema 2720, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methyl esters. These are organic compounds containing a carboxyl group that is esterified with a methyl group. They have the general structure RC(=O)OR', where R=H or organyl group and R'=methyl group. Methyl 3-(methylthio)propanoate is found, on average, in the highest concentration within pineapples. This could make methyl 3-(methylthio)propanoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
