Glucovanillin,4-(BETA-D-葡萄糖基)-3-甲氧基苯甲醛 CAS: 494-08-6

Vanilloside, also known as avenein or glucovanillin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenolic glycosides. These are organic compounds containing a phenolic structure attached to a glycosyl moiety. Some examples of phenolic structures include lignans, and flavonoids. Among the sugar units found in natural glycosides are D-glucose, L-Fructose, and L rhamnose. Vanilloside exists as a solid, soluble (in water), and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Within the cell, vanilloside is primarily located in the cytoplasm. Vanilloside is a very mild, bitter, and vanilla tasting compound that can be found in cereals and cereal products and oat. This makes vanilloside a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.

Glucovanillin is a natural product that is found in the papillae of various plants and in the bark of conifers. It is an inhibitor of bacterial growth, but its mechanism of action has not been determined. Glucovanillin has been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory properties, which may be due to its inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis. In tissue culture experiments, glucovanillin inhibited the growth of Candida albicans and Helicobacter pylori. The active form, vanillin, can be produced by hydrolysis of glucovanillin with hydrochloric acid or by microbial metabolism. The optimum pH for glucovanillin production is between 5 and 6, with a maximum at about pH 4.5. The surface methodology for detecting glucovanillin involves measuring the reaction solution's absorption spectrum at 260 nm after adding hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide to react with the sample.
