Chemical Information
FooDB NameIsoamyl salicylate
DescriptionIsoamyl salicylate belongs to the class of organic compounds known as o-hydroxybenzoic acid esters. These are benzoic acid esters where the benzene ring is ortho-substituted with a hydroxy group. Isoamyl salicylate is a bitter, floral, and herbal tasting compound. Isoamyl salicylate has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as teas (Camellia sinensis), fruits, alcoholic beverages, herbal tea, and green tea. This could make isoamyl salicylate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on Isoamyl salicylate.
