Description	[14]-gingerol is a member of the class of compounds known as gingerols. Gingerols are compounds containing a gingerol moiety, which is structurally characterized by a 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl group substituted at the C6 carbon atom by a 5-hydroxy-alkane-3-one. [14]-gingerol is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). [14]-gingerol can be found in ginger, which makes [14]-gingerol a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
