Common NameMethyl hydrogen fumarate
DescriptionMethyl hydrogen fumarate, also known as mono-methyl fumarate or fumaric acid, methyl ester, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty acid esters. These are carboxylic ester derivatives of a fatty acid. Methyl hydrogen fumarate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Outside of the human body, Methyl hydrogen fumarate has been detected, but not quantified in, herbs and spices. This could make methyl hydrogen fumarate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
