Chemical Information
FooDB Name3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycolaldehyde
Description3,4-dihydroxymandelaldehyde, also known as alpha,3,4-trihydroxybenzeneacetaldehyde or dhmal, is a member of the class of compounds known as phenylacetaldehydes. Phenylacetaldehydes are compounds containing a phenylacetaldehyde moiety, which consists of a phenyl group substituted at the second position by an acetalydehyde. 3,4-dihydroxymandelaldehyde is soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 3,4-dihydroxymandelaldehyde can be found in a number of food items such as canola, lentils, grass pea, and moth bean, which makes 3,4-dihydroxymandelaldehyde a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. In humans, 3,4-dihydroxymandelaldehyde is involved in a couple of metabolic pathways, which include disulfiram action pathway and tyrosine metabolism. 3,4-dihydroxymandelaldehyde is also involved in several metabolic disorders, some of which include dopamine beta-hydroxylase deficiency, alkaptonuria, hawkinsinuria, and tyrosinemia, transient, of the newborn.
