Metabolite Identification
Common Name3,4-Dimethoxybenzaldehyde
Description3,4-Dimethoxybenzaldehyde, also known as veratric aldehyde, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dimethoxybenzenes. These are organic aromatic compounds containing a monocyclic benzene moiety carrying exactly two methoxy groups. 3,4-Dimethoxybenzaldehyde is a sweet, caramel, and cherry tasting compound. 3,4-Dimethoxybenzaldehyde is found, on average, in the highest concentration within peppermints (Mentha X piperita). 3,4-Dimethoxybenzaldehyde has also been detected, but not quantified in, fruits and herbs and spices. This could make 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on 3,4-Dimethoxybenzaldehyde.
