Metabolite Identification
Common Name4-Deoxyerythronic acid
Description4-Deoxyerythronic acid, also known as 2,3-dihydroxybutanoic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sugar acids and derivatives. Sugar acids and derivatives are compounds containing a saccharide unit which bears a carboxylic acid group. 4-Deoxyerythronic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. 4-Deoxyerythronic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as anatidaes (Anatidae), chickens (Gallus gallus), and domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica). This could make 4-deoxyerythronic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on 4-Deoxyerythronic acid.
