Metabolite Identification
Common NameLicochalcone B
DescriptionLicochalcone B belongs to the class of organic compounds known as retrochalcones. These are a form of normal chalcones that are structurally distinguished by the lack of oxygen functionalities at the C2'- and C6'-positions. Thus, licochalcone b is considered to be a flavonoid. Licochalcone B has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as herbal tea, green tea, black tea, teas (Camellia sinensis), and red tea. This could make licochalcone b a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Licochalcone B.
