Definition
Dehydroascorbate (bicyclic form), also known as dehydroascorbate, is a member of the class of 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. Dehydroascorbate (bicyclic form) is soluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). Dehydroascorbate (bicyclic form) can be found in a number of food items such as french plantain, sea-buckthornberry, carrot, and orange bell pepper, which makes dehydroascorbate (bicyclic form) a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Dehydroascorbate (bicyclic form) may be a unique E.coli metabolite.
