Common NameZingerone
DescriptionZingerone, also known as vanillylacetone or [0]-paradol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methoxyphenols. Methoxyphenols are compounds containing a methoxy group attached to the benzene ring of a phenol moiety. Zingerone is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Zingerone is a sweet, animal, and clove tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Zingerone is found, on average, in the highest concentration within pot marjorams and gingers. Zingerone has also been detected, but not quantified in, fruits and herbs and spices. This could make zingerone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Zingerone is found in Aframomum melegueta, Alpinia officinarum and Pinus contorta. Zingerone was first documented in 2008 (PMID: 18472135). A ketone that is 4-phenylbutan-2-one in which the phenyl ring is substituted at positions 3 and 4 by methoxy and hydroxy groups respectively (PMID: 18670185) (PMID: 19367122) (PMID: 19459736) (PMID: 19463966).
