Marindinin

Common Name

Marindinin Description

Marindinin is found in beverages. Marindinin is found in the roots of kava (Piper methysticum). FDA advises against use of kava in food due to potential risk of severe liver damage (2002) Marindinin belongs to the family of Pyrans. These are compounds containing a pyran ring, which is a six-member heterocyclic, non-aromatic ring with five carbon atoms, one oxygen atom and two ring double bonds. Structure
