Chemical Information
FooDB NameZingerone
DescriptionZingerone, also known as vanillylacetone or [0]-paradol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methoxyphenols. Methoxyphenols are compounds containing a methoxy group attached to the benzene ring of a phenol moiety. Zingerone is a sweet, animal, and clove tasting compound. Zingerone is found, on average, in the highest concentration within pot marjorams (Origanum onites) and gingers (Zingiber officinale). Zingerone has also been detected, but not quantified in, fruits and herbs and spices. This could make zingerone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Zingerone.
