Chemical Information
FooDB Name3-Mercapto-2-methylpentanal
Description3-Mercapto-2-methylpentanal, also known as 2-methyl-3-sulphanylpentanal, 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-methylpentanal is an onion and sulfurous tasting compound. 3-Mercapto-2-methylpentanal has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as green onion, welsh onions (Allium fistulosum), garden onions (Allium cepa), red onion, and onion-family vegetables. This could make 3-mercapto-2-methylpentanal a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on 3-Mercapto-2-methylpentanal.
