Common NameOctanal
DescriptionOctanal, also known as 1-caprylaldehyde or aldehyde C-8, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as medium-chain aldehydes. These are an aldehyde with a chain length containing between 6 and 12 carbon atoms. Thus, octanal is considered to be a fatty aldehyde lipid molecule. A saturated fatty aldehyde formally arising from reduction of the carboxy group of caprylic acid (octanoic acid). Octanal is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Octanal exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. Octanal is an aldehydic, citrus, and fat tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Octanal is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as limes, caraway, and mandarin orange (clementine, tangerine) and in a lower concentration in wild carrots, carrots, and beers. Octanal has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as soft-necked garlics, red rices, mammee apples, turmerics, and yautia. This could make octanal a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Octanal, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, ulcerative colitis, autism, and crohn's disease; octanal has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder celiac disease.
