Metabolite Identification
Common NameL-2-(Hydroxymethyl)-1,2,3,4-butanetetrol
DescriptionL-2-(Hydroxymethyl)-1,2,3,4-butanetetrol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sugar alcohols. These are hydrogenated forms of carbohydrate in which the carbonyl group (aldehyde or ketone, reducing sugar) has been reduced to a primary or secondary hydroxyl group. L-2-(Hydroxymethyl)-1,2,3,4-butanetetrol has been detected, but not quantified in, caraways (Carum carvi) and herbs and spices. This could make L-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,2,3,4-butanetetrol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on L-2-(Hydroxymethyl)-1,2,3,4-butanetetrol.
