Quebecol is a polyphenolic chemical compound that has been isolated from maple syrup.{{cite journal | title = Quebecol, a novel phenolic compound isolated from Canadian maple syrup | doi = 10.1016/j.jff.2011.02.004 | year = 2011 | last1 = Li | first1 = Liya | last2 = Seeram | first2 = Navindra P. | journal = Journal of Functional Foods| volume = 3 | issue = 2 | pages = 125–128 }} It has the chemical formula C₂₄H₂₆O₇ and the systematic name 2,3,3-tri-(3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-propanol. Analysis of maple sap before it is converted into syrup suggests that this compound is not naturally present in the sap but, instead, is formed during extraction or processing.{{cite news|url=http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/article/20110404/NEWS02/110403015/Quebecol-fancy-name-healthful-compound-found-Canadian-syrup|archiveurl=https://archive.today/20120724024244/http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/article/20110404/NEWS02/110403015/Quebecol-fancy-name-healthful-compound-found-Canadian-syrup|archivedate=24 July 2012|url-status=dead|title=Quebecol: A fancy name for healthful compound found in Canadian syrup|date=4 April 2011|first=Tim|last=Johnson|work=Burlington Free Press}}
