Heteroside
Definition
Heteroside is a member of the class of compounds known as triterpene saponins. Triterpene saponins are glycosylated derivatives of triterpene sapogenins. The sapogenin moiety backbone is usually based on the oleanane, ursane, taraxastane, bauerane, lanostane, lupeol, lupane, dammarane, cycloartane, friedelane, hopane, 9b,19-cyclo-lanostane, cycloartane, or cycloartanol skeleton. Heteroside is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Heteroside can be found in flaxseed, which makes heteroside a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
