vanillyl mandelate
Vanillyl mandelate, also known as 3-methoxy-4-hydroxymandelate or vanilmandelic acid, is a member of the class of compounds known as methoxyphenols. Methoxyphenols are compounds containing a methoxy group attached to the benzene ring of a phenol moiety. Vanillyl mandelate is soluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Vanillyl mandelate can be found in a number of food items such as brazil nut, feijoa, kiwi, and redcurrant, which makes vanillyl mandelate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) is a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of artificial vanilla flavorings and is an end-stage metabolite of the catecholamines, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. It is produced via intermediary metabolites .
