Natural Product Identification
Common Name4-Heptenoic acid
Description4-Heptenoic acid, also known as 4-heptenoate, 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. 4-Heptenoic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Outside of the human body, 4-Heptenoic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, alcoholic beverages and fats and oils. This could make 4-heptenoic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
