  <name>2-Methyl-5-phenylpyridine</name>
  <description>2-methyl-5-phenylpyridine is a member of the class of compounds known as phenylpyridines. Phenylpyridines are polycyclic aromatic compounds containing a benzene ring linked to a pyridine ring through a CC or CN bond. 2-methyl-5-phenylpyridine can be found in sweet orange, which makes 2-methyl-5-phenylpyridine a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
