Metabolite Identification
Common NameHexyl 2-methylpropanoate
DescriptionHexyl 2-methylpropanoate belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboxylic acid esters. These are carboxylic acid derivatives in which the carbon atom from the carbonyl group is attached to an alkyl or an aryl moiety through an oxygen atom (forming an ester group). Hexyl 2-methylpropanoate is a sweet, apple, and berry tasting compound. Hexyl 2-methylpropanoate is found, on average, in the highest concentration within milk (cow). Hexyl 2-methylpropanoate has also been detected, but not quantified in, blackberries (Rubus) and evergreen blackberries (Rubus laciniatus). This could make hexyl 2-methylpropanoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a small amount of articles have been published on Hexyl 2-methylpropanoate.
