| Common Name | Methyl 3-methylbutanoate |
|---|
| Description | Methyl 3-methylbutanoate, also known as 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoic acid or fema 2753, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty acid methyl esters. Fatty acid methyl esters are compounds containing a fatty acid that is esterified with a methyl group. They have the general structure RC(=O)OR', where R=fatty aliphatic tail or organyl group and R'=methyl group. Methyl 3-methylbutanoate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Methyl 3-methylbutanoate is a strong, apple, and fruity tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Methyl 3-methylbutanoate is found, on average, in the highest concentration within common sages and pineapples. Methyl 3-methylbutanoate has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as fruits, evergreen blackberries, milk and milk products, lowbush blueberries, and herbs and spices. Methyl 3-methylbutanoate is found in Foeniculum vulgare, Origanum minutiflorum, Thymus longicaulis and Thymus zygioides. This could make methyl 3-methylbutanoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. |
