Chemical Information
FooDB Name2-Methoxybenzoic acid
Description2-Methoxybenzoic acid, also known as 2-methoxybenzoate or O-anisic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as o-methoxybenzoic acids and derivatives. These are benzoic acids in which the hydrogen atom at position 2 of the benzene ring is replaced by a methoxy group. 2-Methoxybenzoic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as adzuki beans (Vigna angularis), malabar spinaches (Basella alba), kombus (Saccharina japonica), medlars (Mespilus germanica), and walnuts (Juglans). This could make 2-methoxybenzoic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on 2-Methoxybenzoic acid.
