  <name>3,5,7-Trimethylepicatechin</name>
  <description> 3,5,7-trimethylepicatechin is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 3,5,7-trimethylepicatechin can be found in chinese cinnamon, which makes 3,5,7-trimethylepicatechin a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
