Common NameHeptadecanal
DescriptionHeptadecanal, also known as margaraldehyde, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty aldehydes. These are long chain aldehydes with a chain of at least 12 carbon atoms. Thus, heptadecanal is considered to be a fatty aldehyde lipid molecule. Heptadecanal is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Outside of the human body, Heptadecanal has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as citrus, evergreen blackberries, and lemons. Heptadecanal is found in Aplysina fistularis, Chamaemelum nobile , Commiphora rostrata, Mikania cordifolia, Polygala senega, Porophyllum gracile, Porophyllum ruderale , Stichodactyla helianthus and Tripneustes ventricosus. Heptadecanal was first documented in 1992 (PMID: 24254711). This could make heptadecanal a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods (PMID: 18634791) (PMID: 19916514) (PMID: 25619114).
