Common NamePhytal
DescriptionPhytal, also known as 2-phyten-1-al, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acyclic diterpenoids. These are diterpenoids (compounds made of four consecutive isoprene units) that do not contain a cycle. Thus, phytal is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule. Phytal is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Outside of the human body, Phytal has been detected, but not quantified in, green vegetables and new zealand spinachs. Phytal is found in Artemisia capillaris. This could make phytal a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
