Common Name3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid
DescriptionProtocatechuic acid, also known as protocatechuate or 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives. Hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives are compounds containing a hydroxybenzoic acid (or a derivative), which is a benzene ring bearing a carboxyl and a hydroxyl groups. A dihydroxybenzoic acid in which the hydroxy groups are located at positions 3 and 4. Protocatechuic acid is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Outside of the human body, Protocatechuic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as dills, nuts, fireweeds, almonds, and muscadine grapes. This could make protocatechuic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
