Tariric acid also occurs in the herb Marrubium vulgare (White horehound), where it is conjectured to have an anti-fungal role. It was found to stimulate lipid accumulation by adipocytes in vitro.[7]
Tariric acid is biosynthesised from petroselinic acid; both fatty acids have been found together in Picramnia and Alvaradoa species.[8][9] The occurrence of tariric acid as the major fatty acid is typical for the Picramniaceae.[10]
Production and chemical behavior
Tariric acid can be synthesised from commercially available petroselinic acid.[11]
