Trimethylamine
Trimethylamine, also known as NMe3, N(CH3)3, and TMA, is a colorless, hygroscopic, and flammable simple amine with a typical fishy odor in low concentrations and an ammonia like odor in higher concentrations. Trimethylamine has a boiling point of 2.9 degree centigrade and is a gas at room temperature. Trimethylamine usually comes in pressurized gas cylinders or as a 40\\% solution in water. Trimethylamine is a nitrogenous base and its positively charged cation is called trimethylammonium cation. A common salt of trimethylamine is trimethylammonium chloride, a hygroscopic colorless solid. Trimethylamine is a product of decomposition of plants and animals. It is the substance mainly responsible for the fishy odor often associated with fouling fish, bacterial vagina infections, and bad breath. It is also associated with taking large doses of choline. Trimethylaminuria is a genetic disorder in which the body is unable to metabolize trimethylamine from food sources. Patients develop a characteristic fish odour of their sweat, urine, and breath after the consumption of choline-rich foods. Trimethylaminuria is an autosomal recessive disorder involving a trimethylamine oxidase deficiency. Trimethylaminuria has also been observed in a certain breed of Rhode Island Red chicken that produces eggs with a fishy smell. Trimethylamine in the urine is a biomarker for the consumption of legumes. It has also been found to be a product of various types of bacteria, such as Achromobacter, Acinetobacter, Actinobacteria, Aeromonas, Alcaligenes, Alteromonas, Anaerococcus, Bacillus, Bacteroides, Bacteroidetes, Burkholderia, Campylobacter, Citrobacter, Clostridium, Desulfitobacterium, Desulfovibrio, Desulfuromonas, Edwardsiella, Enterobacter, Enterococcus, Escherichia, Eubacterium, Firmicutes, Flavobacterium, Gammaproteobacteria, Haloanaerobacter, Klebsiella, Micrococcus, Mobiluncus, Olsenella, Photobacterium, Proteobacteria, Proteus, Providencia, Pseudomonas, Rhodopseudomonas, Ruminococcus, Salmonella, Sarcina, Serratia, Shewanella, Shigella, Sinorhizobium, Sporomusa, Staphylococcus, Stigmatella, Streptococcus, Vibrio and Yokenella (PMID:26687352; PMID:25108210; PMID:24909875; PMID:28506279; PMID:27190056). Trimethylamine is a marker for urinary tract infection brought on by E. coli. (PMID:25108210; PMID:24909875). It has also been identified as a uremic toxin according to the European Uremic Toxin Working Group (PMID:22626821). Trimethylamine, also known as NMe3 or TMA, is a nitrogenous base and can be readily protonated to give trimethylammonium cation. Trimethylammonium chloride is a hygroscopic colorless solid prepared from hydrochloric acid. Trimethylamine is a product of decomposition of plants and animals. It is the substance mainly responsible for the fishy odor often associated with fouling fish, bacterial vagina infections, and bad breath. It is also associated with taking large doses of choline (Wikipedia). Trimethylamine is an organic compound with the formula N(CH3)3. This colorless, hygroscopic, and flammable tertiary amine has a strong "fishy" odor in low concentrations and an ammonia-like odor at higher concentrations. It is a gas at room temperature but is usually sold in pressurized gas cylinders or as a 40\\% solution in water. Trimethylamine has a boiling point of 2.9 degree centigrade. Trimethylamine is a nitrogenous base and its positively charged cation is called trimethylammonium cation. A common salt of trimethylamine is trimethylammonium chloride, a hygroscopic colorless solid (Wikipedia). Trimethylaminuria is a genetic disorder in which the body is unable to metabolize trimethylamine from food sources. Patients develop a characteristic fish odour of their sweat, urine, and breath after the consumption of choline-rich foods. Trimethylaminuria is an autosomal recessive disorder involving a trimethylamine oxidase deficiency. Trimethylaminuria has also been observed in a certain breed of Rhode Island Red chicken that produces eggs with a fishy smell (Wikipedia). Trimethylamine in the urine is a biomarker for the consumption of legumes. Trimethylamine is found in many foods, some of which are fishes, alcoholic beverages, milk and milk products, and rice.
2-Propylamine
Isopropylamine, also known as 2-aminopropane or 2-propanamine, is a member of the class of compounds known as monoalkylamines. Monoalkylamines are organic compounds containing an primary aliphatic amine group. Isopropylamine is soluble (in water) and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Isopropylamine is an ammoniacal and fishy tasting compound found in corn and soy bean, which makes isopropylamine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Isopropylamine (monoisopropyl amine, MIPA, 2-Propylamine) is an organic compound, an amine. It is a hygroscopic colorless liquid with ammonia-like odor. It is miscible with water and flammable. It is a valuable intermediate in chemical industry .
1-Propylamine
1-Propylamine, also known as 1-aminopropane or 3-aminopropyl, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as monoalkylamines. These are organic compounds containing an primary aliphatic amine group. 1-Propylamine is an ammoniacal tasting compound. It is a colorless volatile liquid. 1-Propylamine is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as yellow bell peppers, red bell peppers, and pepper (c. annuum) and in a lower concentration in orange bell peppers and green bell peppers. 1-Propylamine has also been detected, but not quantified, in common grapes and wild celeries. Propylamine is a weak base. Propyl amine hydrochloride can be prepared by reacting 1-propanol with ammonium chloride at high temperature and pressure using a Lewis acid catalyst such as ferric chloride. Isolated from vegetable sources. 1-Propylamine is found in many foods, some of which are green bell pepper, orange bell pepper, pepper (c. annuum), and wild celery.
N-Ethylmethylamine
Ethyl methyl amine is a member of the class of compounds known as dialkylamines. Dialkylamines are organic compounds containing a dialkylamine group, characterized by two alkyl groups bonded to the amino nitrogen. Ethyl methyl amine is soluble (in water) and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Ethyl methyl amine can be found in a number of food items such as wild carrot, corn, cabbage, and carrot, which makes ethyl methyl amine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
trimethylamine
