描述
Betaine aldehyde hydrate, also known as glycine betaine aldehyde hydric acid, is a member of the class of compounds known as cholines. Cholines are organic compounds containing a N,N,N-trimethylethanolammonium cation. Betaine aldehyde hydrate is soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Betaine aldehyde hydrate can be found in a number of food items such as wax apple, winter squash, cabbage, and common oregano, which makes betaine aldehyde hydrate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
