Metabolite Identification

Common Name

Diacetone alcohol

Description

Diacetone alcohol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as beta-hydroxy ketones. These are ketones containing a hydroxyl group attached to the beta-carbon atom, relative to the C=O group. Thus, diacetone alcohol is considered to be an oxygenated hydrocarbon. Diacetone alcohol is found, on average, in the highest concentration within milk (cow). Diacetone alcohol has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as fruits, mung beans (Vigna radiata), papayas (Carica papaya), and soy beans (Glycine max). This could make diacetone alcohol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Diacetone alcohol is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. Based on a literature review a small amount of articles have been published on Diacetone alcohol.
