Description
5-Phenylvaleric acid (5-Phenylpentanoic acid) is a major metabolite produced by the gut microbiota during the metabolism of flavan-3-ols and can serve as a biomarker for flavan-3-ol intake. 5-Phenylvaleric acid can also be used as a raw material for the synthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoates[1][2].
