Compound Summary

General Compound Information

Sinigrin

Description
Sinigrin, also known as myronate or myronic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkylglucosinolates. These are organic compounds containing a glucosinolate moiety that carries an alkyl chain. Sinigrin is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Sinigrin is a bitter tasting compound. Sinigrin has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as cabbages, white cabbages, horseradish, wasabis, and capers. This could make sinigrin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
