Definition
Beta-amyrenone is a member of the class of compounds known as triterpenoids. Triterpenoids are terpene molecules containing six isoprene units. Beta-amyrenone is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Beta-amyrenone can be found in rosemary and shea tree, which makes beta-amyrenone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
