alkaloids N-caprylhistamine (HmC8) and N-caprylhistamine-β-glucoside (HmC8-Glc) were recently identified as precursors for a tomato biomarker. As studies regarding metabolism and bioavailability are scarce, the present study aimed at the elucidation of intestinal absorption and metabolism using the Caco-2 model and the pig cecum model to mimic human intestinal conditions. The most abundant imidazole alkaloid
