Metabolite Identification
Common NameIsopropyl formate
DescriptionIsopropyl 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). Isopropyl formate is a cocoa, ethereal, and solvent tasting compound. Isopropyl formate has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as robusta coffees (Coffea canephora), common mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus), arabica coffees (Coffea arabica), alcoholic beverages, and coffee and coffee products. This could make isopropyl formate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on Isopropyl formate.
