  <name>Turmerone</name>
  <description>Turmerone is a member of the class of compounds known as sesquiterpenoids. Sesquiterpenoids are terpenes with three consecutive isoprene units. Turmerone is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Turmerone can be found in turmeric, which makes turmerone a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
