Description	Ponticaepoxide is a member of the class of compounds known as epoxides. Epoxides are compounds containing a cyclic ether with three ring atoms(one oxygen and two carbon atoms). Ponticaepoxide is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Ponticaepoxide can be found in chicory, which makes ponticaepoxide a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
