Definition
Coniferyl acetate is also known as coniferyl acetic acid. Coniferyl acetate is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Coniferyl acetate can be found in a number of food items such as endive, enokitake, black huckleberry, and devilfish, which makes coniferyl acetate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methoxyphenols. Methoxyphenols are compounds containing a methoxy group attached to the benzene ring of a phenol moiety.
