  <name>Hexahydrocurcumin</name>
  <description>Hexahydrocurcumin is a member of the class of compounds known as curcuminoids. Curcuminoids are aromatic compounds containing a curcumin moiety, which is composed of two aryl buten-2-one (feruloyl) chromophores joined by a methylene group. Hexahydrocurcumin is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Hexahydrocurcumin can be found in ginger, which makes hexahydrocurcumin a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
