Description

Undecanal, also known as lauric aldehyde, is an organic compound with the formula CH3(CH2)9CHO. It is a colorless liquid with a strong, fatty, and fruity odor. Undecanal is found naturally in various plants and animals, and it is used in the fragrance and flavor industries. It is also an important intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals, such as undecanoic acid and undecyl alcohol. Undecanal has been shown to have various biological effects, including antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities. Its effects on human health are still being studied, but research suggests that undecanal might play a role in regulating inflammation and immune responses.'

undecanal : A saturated fatty aldehyde formally arising from reduction of the carboxylic acid group of undecanoic acid. It is a component of essential oils from citrus plants like Citrus reticulata.
