Chemical Information
FooDB Name3-Methylphenol
Descriptionm-Cresol, also known as meta-cresol or 3-methylphenol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as meta cresols. These are aromatic compounds containing a meta-cresol moiety, which consists of a benzene ring bearing a methyl group and a hydroxyl group at ring positions 1 and 3, respectively. m-Cresol exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to plants to humans. m-Cresol is a fecal, leather, and medicinal tasting compound. m-Cresol has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as teas (Camellia sinensis), anatidaes (Anatidae), green tea, arabica coffees (Coffea arabica), and chickens (Gallus gallus). This could make m-cresol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on m-Cresol.
