Amylamine
Amylamine, also known as 1-pentylamine or 1-aminopentane, is a member of the class of compounds known as monoalkylamines. Monoalkylamines are organic compounds containing an primary aliphatic amine group. Amylamine is soluble (in water) and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Amylamine is an ammoniacal and fishy tasting compound and can be found in a number of food items such as yellow bell pepper, apple, pepper (c. annuum), and cabbage, which makes amylamine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Amylamine is a chemical compound with the formula CH3(CH2)4NH2. It is used as a solvent, as a raw material in the manufacture of a variety of other compounds, including dyes, emulsifiers, and pharmaceutical products, and as a flavoring agent .
