'''DHMSA''' (2,5-dihydroxymethyl-3,4-dihydroxypyrrolidine) is a naturally occurring [[chemical compound]] found in some types of [[fruit]] and [[vegetables]]. It is a [[sugar]] derivative and is considered a [[polyol]] (sugar alcohol), which are commonly used as [[sweeteners]] and in the [[food industry]].

==Chemical Structure==
DHMSA is a [[pyrrolidine]] derivative, which means it contains a five-membered ring structure with one [[nitrogen]] atom and four [[carbon]] atoms. The 2,5-dihydroxymethyl groups and the 3,4-dihydroxy groups refer to the positions of these functional groups on the pyrrolidine ring.

==Natural Occurrence==
DHMSA is found in certain types of fruit and vegetables, including [[apple]]s, [[pear]]s, and [[carrot]]s. It is also found in some types of [[wine]], particularly those made from [[grape]]s that have been infected with the [[Botrytis cinerea]] fungus, also known as noble rot.

==Health Benefits==
While the health benefits of DHMSA are still being researched, some studies suggest that it may have [[antioxidant]] properties. This means it could potentially help to protect the body's cells from damage caused by free radicals, which are harmful molecules that can lead to [[disease]] and [[ageing]].

==See Also==
* [[Pyrrolidine]]
* [[Polyol]]
* [[Antioxidant]]
