Definition
Nonaprenyl-4-hydroxybenzoate is a member of the class of compounds known as polyprenylphenols. Polyprenylphenols are compounds containing a polyisoprene chain attached to a phenol group. Nonaprenyl-4-hydroxybenzoate is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Nonaprenyl-4-hydroxybenzoate can be found in a number of food items such as sweet potato, banana, shallot, and swamp cabbage, which makes nonaprenyl-4-hydroxybenzoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as polyprenylphenols. Polyprenylphenols are compounds containing a polyisoprene chain attached to a phenol group.
