  <name>3,4-Dimethylbenzoic acid</name>
  <description>Isolated from Eryngium foetidum (culantro)

Trimethylobenzene is metabolized mainly to dimethylbenzoic (DMBA) acid. Trimethylobenzene (TMB) is a common ingredient of many organic solvents used in industry.   DMBA and dimethylhippuric (DMHA) acids, excreted in urine can be used as biological indicators of exposure to TMB. (PMID: 8170375 ). 3,4-Dimethylbenzoic acid is found in herbs and spices.</description>
