Description	Methyl-[12]-gingerdiol is a member of the class of compounds known as long-chain fatty alcohols. Long-chain fatty alcohols are fatty alcohols that have an aliphatic tail of 13 to 21 carbon atoms. Methyl-[12]-gingerdiol is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Methyl-[12]-gingerdiol can be found in ginger, which makes methyl-[12]-gingerdiol a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
