Metabolite Identification
Common NameHomoveratric acid
DescriptionHomoveratric acid, also known as homoveratrumate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dimethoxybenzenes. These are organic aromatic compounds containing a monocyclic benzene moiety carrying exactly two methoxy groups. Homoveratric acid is found, on average, in the highest concentration within olives (Olea europaea). Homoveratric acid has also 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 homoveratric acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Homoveratric acid is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. Based on a literature review a small amount of articles have been published on Homoveratric acid.
