Definition
Germanicol is a member of the class of compounds known as triterpenoids. Triterpenoids are terpene molecules containing six isoprene units. Germanicol is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Germanicol can be found in a number of food items such as cornmint, towel gourd, acorn, and sweet bay, which makes germanicol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
