Natural Product Identification
Common Name2-Hexenyl acetate
Description2-Hexenyl acetate, also known as fema 2564, 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). 2-Hexenyl acetate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 2-Hexenyl acetate is a sweet, apple skin, and banana peel tasting compound. Outside of the human body, 2-Hexenyl acetate has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as broccoli, evergreen blackberries, fruits, and peachs. This could make 2-hexenyl acetate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 2-Hexenyl acetate is found in Capillipedium parviflorum and Fragaria. 2-Hexenyl acetate was first documented in 2008 (PMID: 18408973). Found in strawberry (Fragaria) and other fruits and essential oils (PMID: 20401755) (PMID: 21535618) (PMID: 23054031) (PMID: 23678819) (PMID: 23682312) (PMID: 25172758).
