  <name>Yuccagenin</name>
  <description>Yuccagenin is a member of the class of compounds known as triterpenoids. Triterpenoids are terpene molecules containing six isoprene units. Yuccagenin is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Yuccagenin can be found in fenugreek, which makes yuccagenin a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
