Chemical Information
FooDB NameChavicol
DescriptionChavicol, also known as 4-allylphenol, 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 a medicinal and phenolic tasting compound. Chavicol is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as cloves (Syzygium aromaticum), sweet marjorams (Origanum majorana), and sweet basils (Ocimum basilicum) and in a lower concentration in pineapples (Ananas comosus). Chavicol has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as allspices (Pimenta dioica), chinese cinnamons (Cinnamomum aromaticum), fats and oils, and gingers (Zingiber officinale). This could make chavicol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Chavicol.
