Chemical Information
FooDB Name4-Ethyl-1,2-benzenediol
Description4-Ethyl-1,2-benzenediol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as catechols. Catechols are compounds containing a 1,2-benzenediol moiety. 4-Ethyl-1,2-benzenediol is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as arabica coffees (Coffea arabica), robusta coffees (Coffea canephora), and coffees (Coffea) and in a lower concentration in cocoa powder and beer. 4-Ethyl-1,2-benzenediol has also been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as coffee and coffee products, eggplants (Solanum melongena), and green vegetables. This could make 4-ethyl-1,2-benzenediol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on 4-Ethyl-1,2-benzenediol.
