Metabolite Identification
Common Name3-methylthiopropanol
Description3-(Methylthio)-1-propanol, also known as methionol or 3-(methylsulfanyl)-1-propanol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dialkylthioethers. These are organosulfur compounds containing a thioether group that is substituted by two alkyl groups. An alkyl sulfide that is propan-1-ol substituted by a methylsulfanyl group at position 3. 3-(Methylthio)-1-propanol is a sweet, onion, and potato tasting compound. 3-(Methylthio)-1-propanol has been detected, but not quantified, in several different foods, such as beans, lemon grass, mollusks, limes, and orange bell peppers. This could make 3-(methylthio)-1-propanol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
