Metabolite Identification
Common NameIso-Valeraldehyde
DescriptionIsovaleraldehyde, also known as beta-methylbutanal or iso-C4H9CHO, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha-hydrogen aldehydes. These are aldehydes with the general formula HC(H)(R)C(=O)H, where R is an organyl group. Isovaleraldehyde exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to plants to humans. Isovaleraldehyde is an aldehydic, chocolate, and ethereal tasting compound. Isovaleraldehyde is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as milk (cow), beer, and kohlrabis (Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes) and in a lower concentration in garden tomato (var.). Isovaleraldehyde has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as pomegranates (Punica granatum), oil palms (Elaeis), plains prickly pears (Opuntia macrorhiza), green onion, and welsh onions (Allium fistulosum). This could make isovaleraldehyde a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Isovaleraldehyde is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Isovaleraldehyde, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as crohn's disease, hepatic encephalopathy, clostridium difficile infection, and ulcerative colitis; isovaleraldehyde has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder celiac disease. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Isovaleraldehyde.
