Chemical Information
FooDB NameAsparagusic acid
DescriptionAsparagusic acid, also known as asparagusate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 1,2-dithiolane-4-carboxylic acids. These are organic compounds containing a 1,2-dithiolane ring that bears a carboxylic acid group at the 4-position. Asparagusic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Asparagusic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, asparagus (Asparagus officinalis) and green vegetables. This could make asparagusic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Asparagusic acid.
