Metabolite Identification
Common NameGlycitein
DescriptionGlycitein belongs to the class of organic compounds known as isoflavones. These are polycyclic compounds containing a 2-isoflavene skeleton which bears a ketone group at the C4 carbon atom. Thus, glycitein is considered to be a flavonoid. Glycitein is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as natto, soy beans (Glycine max), and miso and in a lower concentration in soy sauce, soy milk, and chickpeas (Cicer arietinum). Glycitein has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as mung beans (Vigna radiata), dates (Phoenix dactylifera), garlics (Allium sativum), cashew nuts (Anacardium occidentale), and coffees (Coffea). This could make glycitein a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Glycitein is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Glycitein.
