Chemical Information
FooDB NameBenzylamine
DescriptionBenzylamine, also known as moringine or a-aminotoluene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenylmethylamines. Phenylmethylamines are compounds containing a phenylmethtylamine moiety, which consists of a phenyl group substituted by an methanamine. Benzylamine is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as corns (Zea mays), white cabbages (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata L. f. alba DC.), and cabbages (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) and in a lower concentration in wild carrots (Daucus carota), carrots (Daucus carota ssp. sativus), and apples (Malus pumila). Benzylamine has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as savoy cabbages (Brassica oleracea var. sabauda), cucurbita (Cucurbita), dandelions (Taraxacum officinale), nances (Byrsonima crassifolia), and common wheats (Triticum aestivum). This could make benzylamine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Benzylamine.
