Chemical Information
FooDB NameAvicularin
DescriptionAvicularin belongs to the class of organic compounds known as flavonoid-3-o-glycosides. These are phenolic compounds containing a flavonoid moiety which is O-glycosidically linked to carbohydrate moiety at the C3-position. Avicularin is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as highbush blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum), american cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon), and lingonberries (Vaccinium vitis-idaea) and in a lower concentration in grape wine, teas (Camellia sinensis), and beer. Avicularin has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as allspices (Pimenta dioica), fennels (Foeniculum vulgare), guavas (Psidium guajava), cocoa powder, and pears (Pyrus communis). This could make avicularin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on Avicularin.
