Chemical Information
FooDB Name3,4-Dihydroxy-5-methoxybenzoic acid
Description3,4-Dihydroxy-5-methoxybenzoic acid, also known as 4,5-dihydroxy-m-anisic acid or gallic acid 3-methyl ether, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as gallic acid and derivatives. Gallic acid and derivatives are compounds containing a 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid moiety. 3,4-Dihydroxy-5-methoxybenzoic acid is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 3,4-Dihydroxy-5-methoxybenzoic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. 3,4-Dihydroxy-5-methoxybenzoic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, alcoholic beverages and pulses. This could make 3,4-dihydroxy-5-methoxybenzoic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
