| Common Name | Methyl citronellate |
|---|
| Description | Methyl citronellate belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acyclic monoterpenoids. These are monoterpenes that do not contain a cycle. Methyl citronellate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Methyl citronellate is a sweet, apple, and brandy tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Methyl citronellate is found, on average, in the highest concentration within lemon balms. Methyl citronellate has also been detected, but not quantified in, herbs and spices. Methyl citronellate is found in Baccharis dracunculifolia, Daphne papyracea, Leptospermum scoparium and Zanthoxylum schinifolium. This could make methyl citronellate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. |
