Metabolite Identification
Common NameMequinol
DescriptionMequinol, also known as 4-hydroxyanisole or leucodinine b, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methoxyphenols. Methoxyphenols are compounds containing a methoxy group attached to the benzene ring of a phenol moiety. Mequinol is a phenolic tasting compound. Mequinol has been detected, but not quantified in, anises (Pimpinella anisum) and sweet marjorams (Origanum majorana). This could make mequinol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Mequinol.
