Chemical Information

FooDB Name

Methyl 2-methoxybenzoate

Description

Methyl 2-methoxybenzoate 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. Methyl 2-methoxybenzoate is a blackcurrant, cananga, and floral tasting compound. Methyl 2-methoxybenzoate has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as common mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus), mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus). This could make methyl 2-methoxybenzoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on Methyl 2-methoxybenzoate.
