Chemical Information

FooDB Name

Chavicol

Description

Chavicol, also known as p-allylphenol or alpha -propylene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 1-hydroxy-2-unsubstituted benzenoids. These are phenols that are unsubstituted at the 2-position. Chavicol is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Chavicol is a medicinal and phenolic tasting compound. Chavicol is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as cloves, sweet marjorams, and sweet basils and in a lower concentration in pineapples. Chavicol has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as allspices, chinese cinnamons, fats and oils, and gingers. This could make chavicol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
