Cannabis Compound Identification
Common NameProtocatecuic aldehyde
Description3,4-Dihydroxybenzaldehyde, also known as protocatechualdehyde or 1,2-dihydroxy-4-formylbenzene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hydroxybenzaldehydes. These are organic aromatic compounds containing a benzene ring carrying an aldehyde group and a hydroxyl group. 3,4-Dihydroxybenzaldehyde is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 3,4-Dihydroxybenzaldehyde is an almond, bitter, and dry tasting compound. Outside of the human body, 3,4-Dihydroxybenzaldehyde is found, on average, in the highest concentration within vinegars and grape wines. 3,4-Dihydroxybenzaldehyde has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as orange bell peppers, common wheats, spelts, horseradish tree, and muskmelons. This could make 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
