Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-Phenylethyl formate
Description2-Phenylethyl formate, also known as 2-phenethyl methanoate or benzylcarbinyl formate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzene and substituted derivatives. These are aromatic compounds containing one monocyclic ring system consisting of benzene. 2-Phenylethyl formate is a bitter, green, and herbal tasting compound. 2-Phenylethyl formate is found, on average, in the highest concentration within bilberries (Vaccinium myrtillus). This could make 2-phenylethyl formate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 2-Phenylethyl formate 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 2-Phenylethyl formate.
