  <name>beta-Hydrojuglone</name>
  <description>Beta-hydrojuglone is a member of the class of compounds known as naphthoquinones. Naphthoquinones are compounds containing a naphthohydroquinone moiety, which consists of a benzene ring linearly fused to a bezene-1,4-dione (quinone). Beta-hydrojuglone is slightly soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Beta-hydrojuglone can be found in black walnut, which makes beta-hydrojuglone a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.</description>
