Chemical Information
FooDB Name3-(Methylthio)propanal
Description3-(Methylthio)propanal, also known as 3-methylsulfanylpropanal or 4-thiapentanal, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha-hydrogen aldehydes. These are aldehydes with the general formula HC(H)(R)C(=O)H, where R is an organyl group. 3-(Methylthio)propanal is a beef, cooked potato, and creamy tasting compound. 3-(Methylthio)propanal has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as kiwis (Actinidia chinensis), lima beans (Phaseolus lunatus), cupuaçus (Theobroma grandiflorum), sorghums (Sorghum bicolor), and pomes. This could make 3-(methylthio)propanal a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on 3-(Methylthio)propanal.
