Metabolite Identification
Common NameEthyl levulinate
DescriptionEthyl levulinate belongs to the class of organic compounds known as gamma-keto acids and derivatives. These are organic compounds containing an aldehyde substituted with a keto group on the C4 carbon atom. Ethyl levulinate is a sweet, berry, and floral tasting compound. Ethyl levulinate has been detected, but not quantified in, blackberries (Rubus) and evergreen blackberries (Rubus laciniatus). This could make ethyl levulinate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Ethyl levulinate.
