9Z-Eicosenoic acid
Definition
9Z-Eicosenoic acid, also known as gadoleic acid, is a member of the class of compounds known as long-chain fatty acids. Long-chain fatty acids are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains between 13 and 21 carbon atoms. 9Z-Eicosenoic acid is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 9Z-Eicosenoic acid can be found in a number of food items such as lemon, sugar, garlic, and mung bean, which makes 9Z-eicosenoic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. 9Z-Eicosenoic acid can be found in feces, blood, and urine.
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.
