Common NameAcetovanillone
DescriptionAcetovanillone, also known as acetoguaiacon or apocynine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkyl-phenylketones. These are aromatic compounds containing a ketone substituted by one alkyl group, and a phenyl group. Acetovanillone is a faint, sweet, and vanillin tasting compound. Acetovanillone is found, on average, in the highest concentration within white wine. Acetovanillone has also been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as asparagus (Asparagus officinalis), corns (Zea mays), and garden onions (Allium cepa). This could make acetovanillone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Acetovanillone is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. Based on a literature review a small amount of articles have been published on Acetovanillone.
