| Description |
Gamma-eudesmol, also known as γ-eudesmol, is a member of the class of compounds known as eudesmane, isoeudesmane or cycloeudesmane sesquiterpenoids. Eudesmane, isoeudesmane or cycloeudesmane sesquiterpenoids are sesquiterpenoids with a structure based on the eudesmane skeleton. Gamma-eudesmol is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Gamma-eudesmol is a sweet and waxy tasting compound and can be found in a number of food items such as rosemary, ginkgo nuts, mango, and common thyme, which makes gamma-eudesmol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. |
