Common NameBenzylamine
DescriptionBenzylamine, also known as moringine or a-aminotoluene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenylmethylamines. Phenylmethylamines are compounds containing a phenylmethtylamine moiety, which consists of a phenyl group substituted by an methanamine. Benzylamine is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as corns (Zea mays), white cabbages (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata L. f. alba DC.), and cabbages (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) and in a lower concentration in wild carrots (Daucus carota), carrots (Daucus carota ssp. sativus), and apples (Malus pumila). Benzylamine has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as rose hips (Rosa), root vegetables, teas (Camellia sinensis), common verbenas (Verbena officinalis), and alpine sweetvetches (Hedysarum alpinum). This could make benzylamine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Benzylamine 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 significant number of articles have been published on Benzylamine.
