Metabolite Identification
Common NameLauric aldehyde
DescriptionLauric aldehyde, also known as dodecanaldehyde or N-dodecanal, 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, lauric aldehyde is considered to be a fatty aldehyde. Lauric aldehyde is an aldehydic, citrus, and fat tasting compound. Lauric aldehyde is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as corianders (Coriandrum sativum), sweet oranges (Citrus sinensis), and lemons (Citrus limon) and in a lower concentration in mandarin orange (clementine, tangerine), limes (Citrus aurantiifolia), and beer. Lauric aldehyde has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as evergreen blackberries (Rubus laciniatus), herbs and spices, fruits, cucumbers (Cucumis sativus), and celery stalks (Apium graveolens var. dulce). This could make lauric aldehyde a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Lauric aldehyde is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. Lauric aldehyde, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with the diseases such as asthma; lauric aldehyde has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder celiac disease. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Lauric aldehyde.
