phlorizin Chem.|flɒˈraɪzɪn, ˈflɒrɪzɪn| Also phlo(r)rhizin, phloˈridzin († -ine), † phloˈridzin(e. [a. G. phloridzin (L. de Koninck 1835, in Ann. der Pharm. XV. 76; phlorrhizin suggested there by the editor as the proper form of the word, f. Gr. ϕλό-ος, ϕλοι-ός bark + ῥίζα root + -in.] A bitter substance (C21H24O10), crystallizing in silky needles, obtained from the bark of the root of the apple, pear, plum, and cherry trees. Also formerly called † phloˈridzite. Hence phlorizein |flɒˈraɪziːɪn|, a bitter reddish-brown uncrystallizable solid (C21H30N2O13), a combination of oxygen and ammonia with phlorizin.
