Phosphinomethylmalate, also known as 2-(hydroxyphosphonoylmethyl)butanedioate, belongs to short-chain hydroxy acids and derivatives class of compounds. Those are hydroxy acids with an alkyl chain the contains less than 6 carbon atoms. Phosphinomethylmalate is soluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). Phosphinomethylmalate can be found in a number of food items such as parsley, agar, chicory roots, and feijoa, which makes phosphinomethylmalate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as short-chain hydroxy acids and derivatives. These are hydroxy acids with an alkyl chain the contains less than 6 carbon atoms.
