Metabolite Identification
Common Name3,4-Methylenedioxybenzaldehyde
Description3,4-Methylenedioxybenzaldehyde, also known as heliotropin or piperonyl aldehyde, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzodioxoles. These are organic compounds containing a benzene ring fused to either isomers of dioxole. Dioxole is a five-membered unsaturated ring of two oxygen atoms and three carbon atoms. 3,4-Methylenedioxybenzaldehyde is a sweet, bitter, and coconut tasting compound. 3,4-Methylenedioxybenzaldehyde has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as highbush blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum), pepper (spice), rabbiteye blueberries (Vaccinium virgatum), and vanillas (Vanilla). This could make 3,4-methylenedioxybenzaldehyde a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 3,4-Methylenedioxybenzaldehyde 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 significant number of articles have been published on 3,4-Methylenedioxybenzaldehyde.
