Chemical Information
FooDB Name2-Methyl-1-propylamine
Description2-Methyl-1-propylamine, also known as isobutylamine or valamine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as monoalkylamines. These are organic compounds containing a primary aliphatic amine group. 2-Methyl-1-propylamine is a strong basic compound. 2-Methyl-1-propylamine is a clear, colorless liquid with a cheesy and fishy taste. 2-Methyl-1-propylamine exists in all living organisms, from bacteria to humans. 2-Methyl-1-propylamine has been detected in black elderberries, common grapes, and French plantains. This could make 2-methyl-1-propylamine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
