Definition
Coumarinate, also known as 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)acrylate or coumarinic acid, is a member of the class of compounds known as coumaric acids. Coumaric acids are aromatic compounds containing a cinnamic acid moiety hydroxylated at the C2 (ortho-), C3 (meta-), or C4 (para-) carbon atom of the benzene ring. Coumarinate is slightly soluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Coumarinate can be found in a number of food items such as cardoon, sorrel, pigeon pea, and swede, which makes coumarinate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as coumaric acids. These are aromatic compounds containing a cinnamic acid moiety hydroxylated at the C2 (ortho-), C3 (meta-), or C4 (para-) carbon atom of the benzene ring.
