Common Nameeicosatrienoic acid
DescriptionDihomo-alpha-linolenic acid, also known as 11,14,17-eicosatrienoic acid or (Z,Z,Z)-11,14,17-eicosatrienoate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as long-chain fatty acids. These are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains between 13 and 21 carbon atoms. Dihomo-alpha-linolenic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Outside of the human body, Dihomo-alpha-linolenic acid is found, on average, in the highest concentration within milk (cow). Dihomo-alpha-linolenic acid has also been detected, but not quantified in, evening primroses. This could make dihomo-alpha-linolenic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. eicosatrienoic acid is found in Elaeis guineensis. eicosatrienoic acid was first documented in 1977 (PMID: 196185). An icosatrienoic acid having three cis- double bonds at positions 11, 14 and 17 (PMID: 16902246) (PMID: 17374880).
