Metabolite Identification
Common Name(4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)ethanol
Description(4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)ethanol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methoxyphenols. Methoxyphenols are compounds containing a methoxy group attached to the benzene ring of a phenol moiety (4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)ethanol has been detected, but not quantified in, olives (Olea europaea) and olive oil. This could make (4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)ethanol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on (4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)ethanol.
