Chemical Information
FooDB NameLactucin
DescriptionLactucin belongs to the class of organic compounds known as gamma butyrolactones. Gamma butyrolactones are compounds containing a gamma butyrolactone moiety, which consists of an aliphatic five-member ring with four carbon atoms, one oxygen atom, and bears a ketone group on the carbon adjacent to the oxygen atom. Lactucin has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as robusta coffees (Coffea canephora), green vegetables, coffee and coffee products, arabica coffees (Coffea arabica), and herbs and spices. This could make lactucin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on Lactucin.
