描述
L-quinate, also known as L-quinic acid, belongs to quinic acids and derivatives class of compounds. Those are compounds containing a quinic acid moiety (or a derivative thereof), which is a cyclitol made up of a cyclohexane ring that bears four hydroxyl groups at positions 1,3.4, and 5, as well as a carboxylic acid at position 1. L-quinate is very soluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). L-quinate can be found in a number of food items such as fireweed, yellow wax bean, japanese walnut, and black cabbage, which makes L-quinate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Quinic acid is a cyclitol, a cyclic polyol, and a cyclohexanecarboxylic acid. It is a crystalline acid obtained from cinchona bark, coffee beans, and other plant products and made synthetically by hydrolysis of chlorogenic acid. Quinic acid is also implicated in the perceived acidity of coffee. It is a constituent of the tara tannins .
