Natural Product Identification
Common NamePentadecanal
DescriptionPentadecanal 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, pentadecanal is considered to be a fatty aldehyde lipid molecule. Pentadecanal is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Pentadecanal is a fresh and waxy tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Pentadecanal has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as evergreen blackberries, cucumbers, cauliflowers, herbs and spices, and citrus. This could make pentadecanal a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Pentadecanal is found in Angelica archangelica, Anthemis aciphylla, Anthemis aciphylla BOISS.var.discoidea BOISS, Averrhoa bilimbi , Chamaemelum nobile , Cinnamomum micranthu, Cinnamomum micranthum, Cistus creticus, Commiphora rostrata, Curcuma mangga , Hamamelis virginiana, Homo sapiens (Exhaled breath), Laurencia dendroidea, Mandragora autumnalis , Mangifera indica, Mikania cordifolia, Mitracarpus hirtus, Nicotiana tabacum, Pelargonium endlicherianum, Persicaria minor, Platycodon grandiflorus, Polygala senega, Polygonum minus, Porophyllum gracile, Porophyllum ruderale , Protium heptaphyllum, Scytosiphon lomentaria, Smenospongia aurea, Taxus baccata and Tipuana tipu. Pentadecanal was first documented in 2012 (PMID: 22136358). A long-chain fatty aldehyde that is pentadecane carrying an oxo substituent at position 1 (PMID: 23513740).
