Chemical Information
Name(S)-Naringenin
DescriptionNaringenin, also known as (2S)-naringenin or naringetol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as flavanones. Flavanones are compounds containing a flavan-3-one moiety, with a structure characterized by a 2-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran bearing a ketone at the carbon C3. Thus, naringenin is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. The (S)-enantiomer of naringenin. Naringenin is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Naringenin exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Naringenin is a bitter tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Naringenin is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as sweet oranges, common oregano, and mexican oregano and in a lower concentration in sorghums, grape wines, and mandarin orange (clementine, tangerine). Naringenin has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as saffrons, white lupines, alpine sweetvetchs, dates, and elderberries. This could make naringenin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
