Metabolite Identification
Common NameBenzaldehyde
DescriptionBenzaldehyde, also known as benzenecarbonal or benzenemethylal, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzoyl derivatives. These are organic compounds containing an acyl moiety of benzoic acid with the formula (C6H5CO-). Benzaldehyde exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to plants to humans. Benzaldehyde, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as ulcerative colitis, autism, pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease; benzaldehyde 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 Benzaldehyde.
