4-Methylimidazole (4-MeI or 4-MEI) is a heterocyclic organic chemical compound with molecular
formula H3C–C3H3N2 or C4H6N
It is formally derived from imidazole through replacement of the hydrogen in position 4 by
a methyl group. It is a slightly yellowish solid.
4-MeI may be formed in the browning of certain foods through the Maillard
reaction between carbohydrates and amino-containing compounds. In particular, it is found
in roasted foods, grilled meats, coffee and in types of caramel coloring produced with ammonia-
based processes. It may arise also byfermentation.

4-methylimidazole (4-MEI) is a chemical compound that is not directly added to food; rather it is formed as a byproduct in some foods and beverages during the normal cooking process. For example, 4-MEI may form when coffee beans are roasted and when meats are roasted or grilled. 4-MEI also forms as a trace impurity during the manufacturing of certain types of caramel coloring (known as Class III and Class IV caramel coloring) that are used to color cola-type beverages and other foods.
