Identification
Common Name3-Methylellagic acid
ClassSmall Molecule
Description3-methylellagic acid, also known as 3-O-methylellagate, is a member of the class of compounds known as hydrolyzable tannins. Hydrolyzable tannins are tannins with a structure characterized by either of the following models. In model 1, the structure contains galloyl units (in some cases, shikimic acid units) are linked to diverse polyol carbohydrate-, catechin-, or triterpenoid units. In model 2, contains at least two galloyl units C-C coupled to each other, and do not contain a glycosidically linked catechin unit. 3-methylellagic acid is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 3-methylellagic acid can be found in brazil nut, guava, and java plum, which makes 3-methylellagic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
