Common Namep-Hydroxybenzaldehyde
Description4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde, also known as p-Formylphenol or p-Hydroxybenzaldehyde, is a hydroxylated derivative of benzaldehyde. It belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hydroxybenzaldehydes. These are organic aromatic compounds containing a benzene ring carrying an aldehyde group and a hydroxyl group. A hydroxybenzaldehyde that is benzaldehyde substituted with a hydroxy group at position C-4. 4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde is one of the three isomers of hydroxybenzaldehyde wherein the hydroxyl group is substituted at one of three postions (the ortho, meta and para positions) of benzaldehyde. 4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde exists as a yellow to tan powder and is moderately soluble in water. It is found in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. 4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde has a sweet, nutty, almond, or balsam odor and has a creamy, honey or vanilla like taste. It and can be found in certain orchid species (PMID: 11025174 ; PMID: 8009989 ) including vanilla. 4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde occurs naturally and is found many plants and plant foods including bamboo, bilbeerries, grape leaves, sorghum, tomatoes, vanilla, certain vinegars, oats, durians, carrots, sweet marjorams, lingonberries, and savoy cabbages. This could make 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. p-Hydroxybenzaldehyde is also a constituent of cannabis smoke and is formed during the combustion of cannabis ( Ref:DOI ).
