Identification
Common Name(S)-Homostachydrine
ClassSmall Molecule
Description(S)-Homostachydrine (also known as pipecolic acid betaine or homostachydrine) can be found in green coffee beans of Robusta and Arabica species (PMID: 27006213). (S)-Homostachydrine content is unaffected by coffee bean roasting treatment because of its remarkable heat stability. This makes it a good candidate marker for determining the content of Robusta and Arabica species in roasted coffee blends. (S)-Homostachydrine is also a potential marker of coffee consumption as it can be found in both human serum and human urine. It is also found in alfalfa seeds and leaves. More specifically, (S)-homostachydrine can be isolated from the seeds of Medicago sativa (alfalfa) as well as from Achillea millefolium (yarrow). (S)-Homostachydrine is also found in the fruits, seeds, and leaves of orange, lemon, and bergamot (PMID: 22208890).
