  <name>2,5-Dimethylpyridine</name>
  <description>2,5-dimethylpyridine is a member of the class of compounds known as methylpyridines. Methylpyridines are organic compounds containing a pyridine ring substituted at one or more positions by a methyl group. 2,5-dimethylpyridine is soluble (in water) and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). 2,5-dimethylpyridine can be found in tea, which makes 2,5-dimethylpyridine a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
