Metabolite Identification
Common NameMethylisoeugenol
DescriptionMethylisoeugenol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dimethoxybenzenes. These are organic aromatic compounds containing a monocyclic benzene moiety carrying exactly two methoxy groups. Methylisoeugenol is a mild, bitter, and clove tasting compound. Methylisoeugenol is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as nutmegs (Myristica fragrans), star anises (Illicium verum), and gingers (Zingiber officinale). Methylisoeugenol has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as carrots (Daucus carota ssp. sativus), evergreen blackberries (Rubus laciniatus), blackberries (Rubus), tarragons (Artemisia dracunculus), and sweet basils (Ocimum basilicum). This could make methylisoeugenol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Methylisoeugenol.
