Description

Decanaldehyde, also known as capraldehyde, is an aliphatic aldehyde with the molecular formula C10H20O. It is a colorless liquid with a strong, pungent odor reminiscent of citrus fruits and fatty aldehydes. Decanaldehyde is naturally found in various plant oils and animal products, including citrus oils, coconut oil, and milk.

It is often used as a flavoring agent in food and beverages, particularly in citrus-flavored products, and it is also used in perfumes and cosmetics.

Decanaldehyde is synthesized through various methods, including the oxidation of decanol, the reduction of decanoic acid, and the aldol condensation of formaldehyde with nonanal.

Research on decanaldehyde is focused on its biological activity, including its effects on insects, its potential as a pheromone, and its role in human olfaction. For example, decanaldehyde has been shown to act as a pheromone for certain insects, and it is also known to activate olfactory receptors in humans, contributing to the perception of citrusy and fatty odors.

Furthermore, decanaldehyde has been investigated for its potential antimicrobial properties, and its role in various biological processes, such as lipid metabolism and inflammation.'

decanal : A saturated fatty aldehyde formally arising from reduction of the carboxy group of capric acid (decanoic acid).
