Description	Methyl-[8]-gingerol is a member of the class of compounds known as dimethoxybenzenes. Dimethoxybenzenes are organic aromatic compounds containing a monocyclic benzene moiety carrying exactly two methoxy groups. Methyl-[8]-gingerol is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Methyl-[8]-gingerol can be found in ginger, which makes methyl-[8]-gingerol a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
