Quinic Acid

SNC00802
Quinic Acid is a cyclic polyol and organic acid with the molecular formula C₇H₁₂O₆, naturally occurring in various plant sources like coffee beans, apples, and green tea. It plays key roles in plant metabolism, particularly in the shikimate pathway that synthesizes aromatic compounds. Chemically, it features four hydroxyl groups (-OH) and one carboxyl group (-COOH) on a cyclohexane ring, giving it high water solubility and weak acidic properties (pKa ~3.5). In food and beverage industries, it acts as a flavor enhancer, adding a tart, refreshing note to products like soft drinks and candies. It also has applications in pharmaceuticals, serving as a chiral building block for drug synthesis and showing potential in supporting liver health. Additionally, it contributes to the bitterness and acidity of roasted coffee, where its concentration varies with roasting intensity—decreasing slightly as heat breaks down some of the acid.
