Geranate is also known as geranic acid. Geranate is slightly soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Geranate can be found in a number of food items such as chinese cinnamon, saskatoon berry, white lupine, and flaxseed, which makes geranate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Geranic acid, or 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienoic acid, is a pheromone used by some organisms. It is a double bond isomer of nerolic acid .
