Chemical Information
FooDB NamePerillaldehyde
Description(s)-perillaldehyde, also known as P-mentha-1,8-dien-7-al, is a member of the class of compounds known as menthane monoterpenoids. Menthane monoterpenoids are monoterpenoids with a structure based on the o-, m-, or p-menthane backbone. P-menthane consists of the cyclohexane ring with a methyl group and a (2-methyl)-propyl group at the 1 and 4 ring position, respectively. The o- and m- menthanes are much rarer, and presumably arise by alkyl migration of p-menthanes. Thus, (s)-perillaldehyde is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule (s)-perillaldehyde is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). (s)-perillaldehyde is a cherry, fat, and fatty tasting compound found in herbs and spices, which makes (s)-perillaldehyde a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product (s)-perillaldehyde can be found primarily in saliva.
