Sterubin (7-methoxy-3',4',5-trihydroxyflavanone) is a bitter-masking flavanones extracted from Herba Santa ("Eriodictyon californicum") a plant growing in America. [Patricia Kaminski and Richard Katz. [http://www.flowersociety.org/Yerba_About.htm Yerba Santa "Eriodictyon californicum"] . Flower Essence Society.]

Sterubin is one of the four flavanones identified by Symrise in this plant which elicit taste-modifying properties. The others are homoeriodictyol, its sodium salt, and eriodictyol.
