Definition
2-cis,4-trans-xanthoxin, also known as xanthoxin, is a member of the class of compounds known as sesquiterpenoids. Sesquiterpenoids are terpenes with three consecutive isoprene units. 2-cis,4-trans-xanthoxin is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). 2-cis,4-trans-xanthoxin can be found in a number of food items such as broad bean, canola, mustard spinach, and hickory nut, which makes 2-cis,4-trans-xanthoxin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
