Natural Product Identification
Common Name8-Methyl-6-nonenoic acid
Description8-Methylnonenoate belongs to the class of organic compounds known as medium-chain fatty acids. These are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains between 4 and 12 carbon atoms. 8-Methylnonenoate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Outside of the human body, 8-Methylnonenoate has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as watermelons, dandelions, ginsengs, jutes, and sweet basils. This could make 8-methylnonenoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 8-Methyl-nonenoic acid is a fatty acid derivative from leucine/valine pathway.8-Methyl-nonenoic acid plays a crucial role in determining the efficacy of capsaicin levels. This suggests that 8-methyl-nonenoic acid is very close in pathway, leading to capsaicin biosynthesis, and although vanillylamine is present in abundance, the quantity of 8-methyl-nonenoic acid determines the pungency in placental tissues of Capsicum. 8-Methyl-6-nonenoic acid is found in Capsicum annuum . It was evident that significantly high capsaicin was produced when 8-methyl-nonenoic acid was supplied individually and in combination with vanillylamine.
