Description4-Hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methoxyphenols. Methoxyphenols are compounds containing a methoxy group attached to the benzene ring of a phenol moiety. 4-Hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde is a mild, sweet, and plastic tasting compound. 4-Hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as common walnuts (Juglans regia), grape wine, and whisky and in a lower concentration in spirit, vinegar, and rum. 4-Hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as coconuts (Cocos nucifera), common grapes (Vitis vinifera), corianders (Coriandrum sativum), corns (Zea mays), and garden tomato (var.). This could make 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 4-Hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde 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 4-Hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde.
