Common NameHeptanal
DescriptionHeptanal, also known as enanthal or N-heptaldehyde, 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, heptanal is considered to be a fatty aldehyde. Heptanal exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to plants to humans. Heptanal is an aldehydic, citrus, and fat tasting compound. Heptanal is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as corns (Zea mays), teas (Camellia sinensis), and red tea and in a lower concentration in wild carrots (Daucus carota), milk (cow), and carrots (Daucus carota ssp. sativus). Heptanal has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as carobs (Ceratonia siliqua), parsleys (Petroselinum crispum), cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata), swiss chards (Beta vulgaris ssp. cicla), and beech nuts (Fagus). This could make heptanal a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Heptanal, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and uremia; heptanal 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 Heptanal.
