  <name>5-Hexyl-2-methylpyridine</name>
  <description>5-hexyl-2-methylpyridine is a member of the class of compounds known as benzylamines. Benzylamines are organic compounds containing benzylamine, which consists of a benzene group attached to an amine group. 5-hexyl-2-methylpyridine is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 5-hexyl-2-methylpyridine can be found in sweet orange, which makes 5-hexyl-2-methylpyridine a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
