Chemical Information
FooDB NameImperatorin
DescriptionImperatorin, also known as ammidin or marmelosin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as psoralens. These are organic compounds containing a psoralen moiety, which consists of a furan fused to a chromenone to for 7H-furo[3,2-g]chromen-7-one. Imperatorin is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as parsnips (Pastinaca sativa), lovages (Levisticum officinale), and parsleys (Petroselinum crispum) and in a lower concentration in fennels (Foeniculum vulgare). Imperatorin has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as root vegetables, limes (Citrus aurantiifolia), fruits, lemons (Citrus limon), and lambsquarters (Chenopodium album). This could make imperatorin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Imperatorin.
