| Name | Nitrate |
|---|
| Description | Nitrate, also known as nitric acid ion or nitrATE ion, belongs to the class of inorganic compounds known as non-metal nitrates. These are inorganic non-metallic compounds containing a nitrate as its largest oxoanion. Nitrate is a drug. Nitrate is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Nitrate exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. In humans, nitrate is involved in caffeine metabolism. Outside of the human body, Nitrate is found, on average, in the highest concentration within pineapples. Nitrate has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as kai-lans, cereals and cereal products, black-eyed pea, shiitakes, and cashew nuts. This could make nitrate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Nitrate is a potentially toxic compound. The Nitrate carries a negative one formal charge. Nitrate ions can be toxic. Organic compounds containing the nitro functional group (which has the same formula and structure as the Nitrate save that one of the O2 atoms is replaced by the R group) are known as nitro compounds. |
