Chemical Information
FooDB NameLauric aldehyde
DescriptionLauryl aldehyde also known as lauric aldehyde, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as medium-chain aldehydes, with a chain length between 6 and 12 carbon atoms. It has a dodecane backbone where the two hydrogens attached to a terminal carbon are replaced by an oxo group. Lauric aldehyde is a fatty aldehyde lipid molecule that is very hydrophobic, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. It is a colorless to pale yellow clear liquid with an aldehydic, green, floral citrus, soapy, and waxy odor with a soapy, waxy, citrus, orange, mandarin flavor ( http://www.thegoodscentscompany.com/data/rw1000371.html#toorgano). Lauryl aldehyde is found in highest concentrations in corianders, sweet oranges, and lemons and in lower concentrations in mandarin orange (clementine, tangerine) and limes. Lauryl aldehyde has also been detected in fruits, mollusks, citrus, carrots, and wild celeries. This could make lauryl aldehyde a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
