Description 2-Methylpentanoic acid is a member of the class of compounds known as methyl-branched fatty acids. Methyl-branched fatty acids are fatty acids with an acyl chain that has a methyl branch. Usually, they are saturated and contain only one or more methyl group. However, branches other than methyl may be present. Thus, 2-methyl valeric acid is considered to be a fatty acid lipid molecule. 2-methyl valeric acid is soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 2-Methylpentanoic acid is a cheese and sour tasting compound found in pepper (spice), which makes 2-methylpentanoic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. Methyl pentanoate, commonly known as methyl valerate, is the methyl ester of pentanoic acid (valeric acid) with a fruity odor .
