Description | o-Cresol, also known as ortho-cresol or 2-hydroxytoluene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as ortho cresols. These are organic compounds containing an ortho-cresol moiety, which consists of a benzene bearing one hydroxyl group at ring positions 1 and 2, respectively. o-Cresol exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. o-Cresol is a medicinal, musty, and phenolic tasting compound. o-Cresol is found, on average, in the highest concentration within beer and peppermints (Mentha X piperita). o-Cresol has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as herbal tea, garden tomato (var.), green bell peppers (Capsicum annuum), asparagus (Asparagus officinalis), and arabica coffees (Coffea arabica). This could make O-cresol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. o-Cresol, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with the diseases such as cresol poisoning ibs; O-cresol has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder celiac disease. Based on a literature review a small amount of articles have been published on o-Cresol. |
