Chemical Information
FooDB Name1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene
Description1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, also known as pseudocumene or psi-cumene, belongs to benzene and substituted derivatives class of compounds. Those are aromatic compounds containing one monocyclic ring system consisting of benzene. 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene is a plastic tasting compound found in black walnut and corn, which makes 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene can be found primarily in urine. 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene is a non-carcinogenic (not listed by IARC) potentially toxic compound.
