Chemical Information
FooDB NameL-5-Oxo-2-pyrrolidinecarboxylic acid
DescriptionPyroglutamic acid, also known as pyroglutamate or pidolate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha amino acids and derivatives. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon), or a derivative thereof. Pyroglutamic acid is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Pyroglutamic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Pyroglutamic acid is a mild, sweet, and ethereal tasting compound. Pyroglutamic acid is found, on average, in the highest concentration within soy beans and beers. Pyroglutamic acid has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as common buckwheats, allspices, butternut squash, pulses, and hazelnuts. This could make pyroglutamic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Pyroglutamic acid is a potentially toxic compound.
