Chemical Information
FooDB Name3-Mercapto-2-methylpentanol
Description3-Mercapto-2-methylpentanol, also known as 2-methyl-3-sulphanylpentan-1-ol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkylthiols. These are organic compounds containing the thiol functional group linked to an alkyl chain. 3-Mercapto-2-methylpentanol is an onion and sulfurous tasting compound. 3-Mercapto-2-methylpentanol has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as garden onion (var.), green onion, welsh onions (Allium fistulosum), onion-family vegetables, and garden onions (Allium cepa). This could make 3-mercapto-2-methylpentanol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on 3-Mercapto-2-methylpentanol.
