Metabolite Identification
Common NameOctanal
DescriptionOctanal, also known as 1-caprylaldehyde or aldehyde C-8, 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, octanal is considered to be a fatty aldehyde lipid molecule. Octanal is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Octanal exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. Octanal, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, crohn's disease, pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified, and autism; octanal has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder celiac disease.
