Methyl isobutyl ketone
Methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) is an organic solvent. MIBK is among the top ten most popular organic solvents used in industry. MIBK is occasionally found as a volatile component of urine. MIBK in urine is considered as a biological marker of occupational exposure to this solvent. Olfactory perception is significant but adaptation may occur. The typical toxicity effects of MIBK in humans exposed at 50 to 100 ppm are mucous membrane irritation and weak effects on the central nervous system (CNS) such as headache. Visual dysfunction has been reported in workers exposed to a mixture of organic solvents containing MIBK. Memory impairment was detected in clinical observation on a 44-year-old man who had been exposed to MIBK at 100 ppm for more than 10 years. Regarding to the route of absorption, skin penetration of MIBK is substantial. (PMID: 12592578, 17485256, 16464817, 5556886). Present in orange, lemon, concord grape, vinegar, cheeses, cooked beef, roasted peanut and other foodstuffs. Flavouring ingredient
Ethyl isovalerate
Ethyl isovalerate, also known as ethyl isopentanoate or fema 2463, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty acid esters. These are carboxylic ester derivatives of a fatty acids. Ethyl isovalerate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. Found in fruits and vegetables e.g. apple, banana, melon, strawberry, pineapple, blackberries and celery. It is used in fruit aroma compositions. Flavouring ingredient.
2-Methylpropyl acetate
2-Methylpropyl acetate, also known as isobutyl acetate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboxylic acid esters. These are carboxylic acid derivatives in which the carbon atom from the carbonyl group is attached to an alkyl or an aryl moiety through an oxygen atom (forming an ester group). The acetate ester of isobutanol. 2-Methylpropyl acetate is a sweet, apple, and banana tasting compound. 2-Methylpropyl acetate has been detected, but not quantified, in several different foods, such as rosemaries, figs, pineapples, cocoa beans, and asian pears. Found in fruits, brandies and fortified wines. It is used in flavouring agents.
Ethyl isobutyl ketone
Ethyl isobutyl ketone is a volatile organic compound (VOC). Ethyl isobutyl ketone is occasionally found as a volatile component of normal human biofluids. It is a component of the feces in about 25\\% of the normal population. Volatile organic compounds from feces have the potential to help in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal disease.

2-Methylpropyl propanoate
2-Methylpropyl propanoate is a flavouring ingredien Flavouring ingredient
Ethyl propionate
Ethyl propanoate, also known as fema 2456, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboxylic acid esters. These are carboxylic acid derivatives in which the carbon atom from the carbonyl group is attached to an alkyl or an aryl moiety through an oxygen atom, forming an ester group. Ethyl propanoate exists as a solid. It is very hydrophobic, practically insoluble in water, and a relatively neutral molecule. Ethyl propanoate exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. Ethyl propanoate has been found to be associated with several known diseases as autism, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease; also ethyl propanoate has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorders including celiac disease. As a volatile organic compound, ethyl propionate has been identified as a fecal biomarker of Clostridium difficile infection (PMID:30986230). It is used in fruity and rum flavour compositions. Ethyl propionate is found in many foods, some of which are apple, fig, black elderberry, and olive.
3-PENTANONE
A natural product found in Triatoma brasiliensis and Triatoma infestans. 3-pentanone, also known as diethyl ketone or ethyl propionyl, is a member of the class of compounds known as ketones. Ketones are organic compounds in which a carbonyl group is bonded to two carbon atoms R2C=O (neither R may be a hydrogen atom). Ketones that have one or more alpha-hydrogen atoms undergo keto-enol tautomerization, the tautomer being an enol. Thus, 3-pentanone is considered to be an oxygenated hydrocarbon lipid molecule. 3-pentanone is soluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). 3-pentanone is an acetone and ethereal tasting compound and can be found in a number of food items such as strawberry guava, ceylon cinnamon, beech nut, and pak choy, which makes 3-pentanone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
pentan-3-one
A pentanone that is pentane carrying an oxo group at position 3. It has been isolated from Triatoma brasiliensis and Triatoma infestans.
