Metabolite Identification
Common NameHexyl formate
DescriptionHexyl formate, also known as hexyl formic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboxylic acid esters. These are carboxylic acid derivatives in which the carbon atom from the carbonyl group is attached to an alkyl or an aryl moiety through an oxygen atom (forming an ester group). Hexyl formate is a sweet, apple, and banana tasting compound. Hexyl formate has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as teas (Camellia sinensis), apples (Malus pumila), fruits, green tea, and herbal tea. This could make hexyl formate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on Hexyl formate.
