PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
Description
2-Phenylbutyric acid has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as anatidaes (Anatidae), chickens (Gallus gallus), and domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica). This could make 2-phenylbutyric acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 2-Phenylbutyric acid is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules.
