Chemical Information
FooDB NameMethyl-beta-hydroxybutyrate
DescriptionMethyl 3-hydroxybutyrate belongs to beta hydroxy acids and derivatives class of compounds. Those are compounds containing a carboxylic acid substituted with a hydroxyl group on the C3 carbon atom. Thus, methyl 3-hydroxybutyrate is considered to be a fatty ester lipid molecule. Methyl 3-hydroxybutyrate is soluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Methyl 3-hydroxybutyrate has a mild and apple taste.
