Metabolite Identification
Common NamePropyl formate
DescriptionPropyl formate 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). Propyl formate is a sweet, berry, and bitter tasting compound. Propyl formate is found, on average, in the highest concentration within milk (cow). Propyl formate has also been detected, but not quantified in, apples (Malus pumila) and pineapples (Ananas comosus). This could make propyl formate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on Propyl formate.
