Metabolite Identification
Common NameHydroxytyrosol
DescriptionHydroxytyrosol, also known as dopet, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tyrosols. These are organic aromatic compounds containing a phenethyl alcohol moiety that carries a hydroxyl group at the 4-position of the benzene group. Hydroxytyrosol is found, on average, in the highest concentration within olives (Olea europaea) and grape wine. Hydroxytyrosol has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as cloves (Syzygium aromaticum), fruits, olive oil, and rapes (Brassica napus var. napus). This could make hydroxytyrosol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Hydroxytyrosol is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Hydroxytyrosol.
