Quinic Acid
Quinic acid is a type of organic compound known as a phenolic acid, which is commonly found in plants and is a natural component of many fruits, vegetables, and plant-derived beverages like coffee and tea. It has the chemical formula C7H12O6 and is characterized by its carboxylic acid group and a cyclohexadiene ring with two hydroxyl groups. Quinic acid has been studied for its potential health benefits, including its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, although more research is needed to fully understand its effects in the human body.
