Chemical Information
FooDB NameArbutin
DescriptionArbutin, also known as arbutoside or beta-arbutin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenolic glycosides. These are organic compounds containing a phenolic structure attached to a glycosyl moiety. Some examples of phenolic structures include lignans, and flavonoids. Among the sugar units found in natural glycosides are D-glucose, L-Fructose, and L rhamnose. Arbutin is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Arbutin is a bitter tasting compound. Arbutin is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as bilberries, quinces, and pears. Arbutin has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as sweet marjorams, apples, pomes, yali pears, and milk (cow). This could make arbutin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
