Definition
2-hydroxyisoflavanone naringenin, also known as 2,5,7,4'-tetrahydroxyisoflavanol or 2-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrogenistein, is a member of the class of compounds known as isoflavanols. Isoflavanols are polycyclic compounds containing a hydroxylated isoflavan skeleton. 2-hydroxyisoflavanone naringenin is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 2-hydroxyisoflavanone naringenin can be found in a number of food items such as wild carrot, chicory, cloves, and sweet cherry, which makes 2-hydroxyisoflavanone naringenin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
