Adenochrome is an acidic red pigment that is primarily found in the branchial hearts of the octopus, specifically in the species Octopus bimaculatus. This pigment appears as garnet-red inclusions and contains small amounts of ferric iron [1][2].
Characteristics
Composition: Adenochrome is a nonproteinaceous pigment, meaning it does not consist of proteins but rather is a distinct chemical compound.
Chemical Properties: It has been studied for its chemical properties, including its reactions in acidic mediums.
Misconceptions
It's important to note that adenochrome is often confused with adrenochrome, a compound that has been the subject of various conspiracy theories. However, adenochrome itself is not associated with these theories and is primarily of interest in biological and chemical contexts.
I am reading "Adrinochrome" - a mis-spelling of "Adrenochrome", not "Adenochrome."
Compare what you believe to be an "E" in the beginning of the word with the "E" at the end. It is not the same. The letters in the beginning are "RI" not an E"
A web-search will turn up a music group by the name "Adrinochrome," No obvious connection to the legend on the box.
