Chemical Information
FooDB Name3-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-2-propenal
Description3-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-2-propenal, also known as 4-methoxycinnamaldehyde, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as cinnamaldehydes. These are organic aromatic compounds containing a cinnamlaldehyde moiety, consisting of a benzene and an aldehyde group to form 3-phenylprop-2-enal. 3-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-2-propenal is a sweet, cherry, and cinnamon tasting compound. 3-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-2-propenal is found, on average, in the highest concentration within tarragons (Artemisia dracunculus). 3-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-2-propenal has also been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as potatos (Solanum tuberosum), star anises (Illicium verum), and sweet basils (Ocimum basilicum). This could make 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-propenal a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on 3-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-2-propenal.
