Cubebin
Cubebin is found in herbs and spices. Cubebin is isolated from unripe fruit of Piper cubeba (cubeb pepper) About 15\\% of a volatile oil is obtained by distilling cubebs with water. Cubebene, the liquid portion, has the formula C15H24. It is a pale green or blue-yellow viscous liquid with a warm woody, slightly camphoraceous odor. After rectification with water, or on keeping, this deposits rhombic crystals of camphor of cubebs. Cubeb (Piper cubeba), or tailed pepper, is a plant in genus Piper, cultivated for its fruit and essential oil. It is mostly grown in Java and Sumatra, hence sometimes called Java pepper. The fruits are gathered before they are ripe, and carefully dried. Commercial cubebs consist of the dried berries, similar in appearance to black pepper, but with stalks attached the "tails" in "tailed pepper". The dried pericarp is wrinkled, its color ranges from grayish-brown to black. The seed is hard, white and oily. The odor of cubebs is described as agreeable and aromatic. The taste, pungent, acrid, slightly bitter and persistent. It has been described as tasting like allspice, or like a cross between allspice and black pepper. Cubebin (C10H10O3) is a crystalline substance existing in cubebs, discovered by Eugene Soubeiran and Capitaine in 1839. It may be prepared from cubebene, or from the pulp left after the distillation of the oil. The drug, along with gum, fatty oils, and malates of magnesium and calcium, contains also about 1\\% of cubebic acid, and about 6\\% of a resin. The dose of the fruit is 30 to 60 grains, and the British Pharmacopoeia contains a tincture with a dose of 4 to 1 dram. In Europe, cubeb was one of the valuable spices during the Middle Ages. It was ground as a seasoning for meat or used in sauces. Cubebin is a medieval recipe includes cubeb in making sauce sarcenes, which consists of almond milk and several spices. As an aromatic confectionery, cubeb was often candied and eaten whole. In traditional Chinese medicine cubeb is used for its alleged warming property. In Tibetan medicine, cubeb (ka ko la in Tibetan) is one of bzang po drug, six fine herbs beneficial to specific organs in the body, with cubeb assigned to the spleen Isolated from unripe fruit of Piper cubeba (cubeb pepper)
Carissanol
Carissanol is found in fruits. Carissanol is a constituent of Carissa edulis (agam)
(8R,8'R,9S)-9-Hydroxy-3,4-dimethoxy-3',4'-methylenoxy-9,9'-epoxylignan
(8R,8R,9S)-9-Hydroxy-3,4-dimethoxy-3,4-methylenoxy-9,9-epoxylignan is a constituent of Piper chaba (Javanese long pepper) Constituent of Piper chaba (Javanese long pepper)
9-Hydroxy-3',4'-dimethoxy-3,4-methylenedioxy-9,9'-epoxylignan
9-Hydroxy-3,4-dimethoxy-3,4-methylenedioxy-9,9-epoxylignan is found in herbs and spices. 9-Hydroxy-3,4-dimethoxy-3,4-methylenedioxy-9,9-epoxylignan is a constituent of Piper nigrum (pepper). Constituent of Piper nigrum (pepper). 9-Hydroxy-3,4-dimethoxy-3,4-methylenedioxy-9,9-epoxylignan is found in herbs and spices.
Todolactol A
Todolactol a is a member of the class of compounds known as dibenzylbutyrolactols. Dibenzylbutyrolactols are lignan compounds containing a 3,4-dibenzyloxolan-2-ol moiety. Todolactol a is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Todolactol a can be found in sesame, which makes todolactol a a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
(-)-lactol
(-)-lactol is a member of the class of compounds known as dibenzylbutyrolactols. Dibenzylbutyrolactols are lignan compounds containing a 3,4-dibenzyloxolan-2-ol moiety (-)-lactol is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). (-)-lactol can be found in a number of food items such as corn salad, sugar apple, abalone, and giant butterbur, which makes (-)-lactol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
