Description	Medioresinol is a member of the class of compounds known as furanoid lignans. Furanoid lignans are lignans with a structure that contains either a tetrahydrofuran ring, a furan ring, or a furofuan ring system, that arises from the joining of the two phenylpropanoid units. Medioresinol is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Medioresinol can be found in a number of food items such as garden tomato (variety), common buckwheat, radish (variety), and black elderberry, which makes medioresinol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
