Chemical Information

FooDB Name

1-Methoxy-4-methylbenzene

Description

1-Methoxy-4-methylbenzene, also known as p-methyl anisole or 4-methoxytoluene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as anisoles. These are organic compounds containing a methoxybenzene or a derivative thereof. 1-Methoxy-4-methylbenzene is a camphoraceous, cedar, and cresol tasting compound. 1-Methoxy-4-methylbenzene has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as garden tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum), herbs and spices, and milk and milk products. This could make 1-methoxy-4-methylbenzene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on 1-Methoxy-4-methylbenzene.
