  <name>4-(Methylthio)-butanonitrile</name>
  <description>4-(methylthio)-butanonitrile is a member of the class of compounds known as nitriles. Nitriles are compounds having the structure RC#N; thus C-substituted derivatives of hydrocyanic acid, HC#N. 4-(methylthio)-butanonitrile can be found in kohlrabi, which makes 4-(methylthio)-butanonitrile a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
