Metabolite Identification
Common NameLevulinic acid
DescriptionLevulinic acid, also known as laevulinsaeure or levulate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as gamma-keto acids and derivatives. These are organic compounds containing an aldehyde substituted with a keto group on the C4 carbon atom. Levulinic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Levulinic acid is a sweet, acetoin, and acidic tasting compound. Levulinic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as fruits, green vegetables, chickens (Gallus gallus), root vegetables, and breakfast cereal. This could make levulinic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Levulinic acid 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 Levulinic acid.
