Chemical Information
FooDB NameConiferyl aldehyde
Description(2E)-3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-enal, also known as 4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamaldehyde or coniferaldehyde, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methoxyphenols. Methoxyphenols are compounds containing a methoxy group attached to the benzene ring of a phenol moiety (2E)-3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-enal is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Outside of the human body, (2E)-3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-enal is found, on average, in the highest concentration within sherries (2E)-3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-enal has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as highbush blueberries, lima beans, chinese cabbages, loquats, and greenthread tea. This could make (2E)-3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-enal a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
