Natural Product Identification
Common NameEthyl 2-methylbutyrate
DescriptionEthyl 2-methylbutyrate, also known as fema 2443, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty acid esters. These are carboxylic ester derivatives of a fatty acid. Ethyl 2-methylbutyrate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Ethyl 2-methylbutyrate is a sweet, apple, and fruity tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Ethyl 2-methylbutyrate has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as prickly pears, lowbush blueberries, bilberries, sweet cherries, and asian pears. This could make ethyl 2-methylbutyrate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Ethyl 2-methylbutyrate is found in Ananas comosus, Artemisia annua , Artemisia judaica, Artemisia salsoloides, Calamintha nepeta subsp. glandulosa , Durio zibethinus , Hippophae rhamnoides, Nymphaea lasiophylla, Opuntia ficus-indica and Vitis vinifera. Found in many fruits, e.G.Raw and cooked apple, apricot, orange, grapefruit.
