| Common Name | 4-Methoxybenzyl alcohol |
|---|
| Description | 4-Methoxybenzyl alcohol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzyl alcohols. These are organic compounds containing the phenylmethanol substructure. 4-Methoxybenzyl alcohol is a sweet, caramel, and chocolate tasting compound. 4-Methoxybenzyl alcohol is found, on average, in the highest concentration within anises (Pimpinella anisum). 4-Methoxybenzyl alcohol has also been detected, but not quantified in, herbs and spices. This could make 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on 4-Methoxybenzyl alcohol. |
