Metabolite Identification
Common NamePhytol
DescriptionPhytol, also known as trans-phytol or (e)-phytol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acyclic diterpenoids. These are diterpenoids (compounds made of four consecutive isoprene units) that do not contain a cycle. Thus, phytol is considered to be an isoprenoid. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Phytol.
