Definition
Thalianol is a member of the class of compounds known as triterpenoids. Triterpenoids are terpene molecules containing six isoprene units. Thalianol is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Thalianol can be found in a number of food items such as ostrich fern, mung bean, skunk currant, and muskmelon, which makes thalianol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
