Metabolite Identification
Common NameMyrcenol
DescriptionMyrcenol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tertiary alcohols. Tertiary alcohols are compounds in which a hydroxy group, -OH, is attached to a saturated carbon atom R3COH (R not H ). Myrcenol is a citrus, floral, and fresh tasting compound. Myrcenol has been detected, but not quantified in, grapes (Vitis) and sweet basils (Ocimum basilicum). This could make myrcenol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Myrcenol 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 Myrcenol.
