  <name>1,3-Dimethyl-4-ethylbenzene</name>
  <description>1,3-dimethyl-4-ethylbenzene is a member of the class of compounds known as M-xylenes. M-xylenes are aromatic compounds that contain a m-xylene moiety, which is a monocyclic benzene carrying exactly two methyl groups at the 1- and 3-positions. 1,3-dimethyl-4-ethylbenzene can be found in corn, which makes 1,3-dimethyl-4-ethylbenzene a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
