Definition
Dammarenediol ii, also known as 3beta-dammar-24-ene-3,20-diol, is a member of the class of compounds known as triterpenoids. Triterpenoids are terpene molecules containing six isoprene units. Dammarenediol ii is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Dammarenediol ii can be found in a number of food items such as swamp cabbage, oil palm, watercress, and common hazelnut, which makes dammarenediol ii a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
