Bioactivity
Melilotic acid (3- (2-Hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid), also known as melilotic acid or melilotate. Within the cell, 3- (2-hydroxyphenyl) propanoic acid is primarily located in the cytoplasm. Melilotic acid can be biosynthesized from propionic acid. Outside of the human body, 3- (2-hydroxyphenyl) propanoic acid can be found in a number of food items such as herbs and spices, red beetroot, chinese cinnamon, and bilberry. This makes 3- (2-hydroxyphenyl) propanoic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
