Natural Product Identification
Common NameEthyl (±)-3-hydroxyoctanoate
DescriptionEthyl (±)-3-hydroxyoctanoate belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty alcohols. These are aliphatic alcohols consisting of a chain of a least six carbon atoms. Ethyl (±)-3-hydroxyoctanoate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Ethyl (±)-3-hydroxyoctanoate is isolated from various fruits; Ethyl (±)-3-hydroxyoctanoate is a flavouring agent. Ethyl (±)-3-hydroxyoctanoate is a floral, fruity, and winey tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Ethyl (±)-3-hydroxyoctanoate has been detected, but not quantified in, pears. This could make ethyl (±)-3-hydroxyoctanoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
