Definition
Dihydroxyphaseic acid is also known as dihydroxyphaseate. Dihydroxyphaseic acid is slightly soluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Dihydroxyphaseic acid can be found in a number of food items such as olive, turmeric, macadamia nut, and shiitake, which makes dihydroxyphaseic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as abscisic acids and derivatives. These are terpene compounds containing the abscisic acid moiety, which is characterized by a 3-methylpenta-2,4-dienoic acid attached to the C1 carbon of a 4-oxocyclohex-2-ene moiety.
