Chemical Information
FooDB Name1-Methylnaphthalene
Description1-Methylnaphthalene belongs to the class of organic compounds known as naphthalenes. Naphthalenes are compounds containing a naphthalene moiety, which consists of two fused benzene rings. 1-Methylnaphthalene is a camphor, chemical, and medicinal tasting compound. 1-Methylnaphthalene is found, on average, in the highest concentration within black walnuts (Juglans nigra). 1-Methylnaphthalene has also been detected, but not quantified in, asian pears (Pyrus pyrifolia) and corns (Zea mays). This could make 1-methylnaphthalene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on 1-Methylnaphthalene.
