  <name>3-Phenyl-2-propenenitrile</name>
  <description>3-phenyl-2-propenenitrile is a member of the class of compounds known as styrenes. Styrenes are organic compounds containing an ethenylbenzene moiety. 3-phenyl-2-propenenitrile is a cassia, cinnamon, and cumin tasting compound found in fig, which makes 3-phenyl-2-propenenitrile a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
