Common NameGalacturonic acid
DescriptionGalacturonic acid, also known as D-galacturonate or sodium pectate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as glucuronic acid derivatives. Glucuronic acid derivatives are compounds containing a glucuronic acid moiety (or a derivative), which consists of a glucose moiety with the C6 carbon oxidized to a carboxylic acid. Galacturonic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. Galacturonic acid is found, on average, in the highest concentration within flaxseeds (Linum usitatissimum) and grape wine. Galacturonic acid has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as olives (Olea europaea), milk (cow), domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica), german camomiles (Matricaria recutita), and figs (Ficus carica). This could make galacturonic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Galacturonic acid is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Galacturonic acid.
