Chemical Information
FooDB Name4-Methylbiphenyl
Description4-Methylbiphenyl belongs to the class of organic compounds known as biphenyls and derivatives. These are organic compounds containing to benzene rings linked together by a C-C bond. 4-Methylbiphenyl is an anise, fennel, and floral tasting compound. 4-Methylbiphenyl has been detected, but not quantified in, cocoa and cocoa products and cocoa beans (Theobroma cacao). This could make 4-methylbiphenyl a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on 4-Methylbiphenyl.
