Natural Product Identification
Common NamePropyl propionate
DescriptionPropyl propionate, also known as fema 2958, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboxylic acid esters. These are carboxylic acid derivatives in which the carbon atom from the carbonyl group is attached to an alkyl or an aryl moiety through an oxygen atom (forming an ester group). Propyl propionate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Propyl propionate is a sweet, bitter, and chemical tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Propyl propionate has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as apples, black elderberries, and sweet cherries. This could make propyl propionate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Propyl propionate, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as ulcerative colitis, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and crohn's disease; propyl propionate has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder celiac disease. Propyl propionate is found in Fragaria ananassa and Tagetes minuta. Propyl propionate was first documented in 2005 (PMID: 15691743). A propanoate ester resulting from the formal condensation of the hydroxy group of propanol with the carboxy group of propanoic acid (PMID: 19746921) (PMID: 28332665) (PMID: 23870484) (PMID: 19555224) (PMID: 23991713) (PMID: 25307263).
