Definition
Docosanedioate, also known as docosanedioic acid or c22:0-dca(2-), is a member of the class of compounds known as very long-chain fatty acids. Very long-chain fatty acids are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains at least 22 carbon atoms. Docosanedioate is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Docosanedioate can be found in a number of food items such as pomes, green zucchini, pot marjoram, and rowal, which makes docosanedioate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Docosanedioic acid is a dicarboxylic acid with the linear formula HOOC(CH2)20COOH .
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as very long-chain fatty acids. These are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains at least 22 carbon atoms.
