Definition
14-oxolanosterol is a member of the class of compounds known as triterpenoids. Triterpenoids are terpene molecules containing six isoprene units. 14-oxolanosterol is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). 14-oxolanosterol can be found in a number of food items such as common bean, corn salad, broccoli, and allium (onion), which makes 14-oxolanosterol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
