  <name>Tambulin</name>
  <description>Tambulin, also known as herbacetin 7,8,4'-trimethyl ether, is a member of the class of compounds known as flavonols. Flavonols are compounds that contain a flavone (2-phenyl-1-benzopyran-4-one) backbone carrying a hydroxyl group at the 3-position. Thus, tambulin is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. Tambulin is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Tambulin can be found in sunflower, which makes tambulin a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
