Those are compounds containing or derived from a bile acid or alcohol, and which bears exactly two carboxylic acid groups. Cathasterone is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Cathasterone can be found in a number of food items such as carrot, prairie turnip, cashew nut, and common pea, which makes cathasterone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
