Caproic acid
Caproic acid, also known as hexanoic acid or C6:0, is a medium-chain fatty acid. Medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) are fatty acids with aliphatic tails of 6 to 12 carbons, which can form medium-chain triglycerides. Caproic acid is a colourless oily liquid that smells like cheese with an overlying waxy or barnyard odor like that of goats or other barnyard animals. Its name comes from the Latin word capra, meaning "goat". Two other fatty acids are named after goats: caprylic acid (C8) and capric acid (C10). Along with caproic acid, they account for 15\\% of the fat in goats milk. Caproic acid is a fatty acid found naturally in various animal fats and oils. While generally more abundant in animals, caproic acid is found in all organisms ranging from bacteria to plants to animals. Caproic acid is one of the chemicals that gives the decomposing fleshy seed coat of the ginkgo fruit its characteristic unpleasant odor. It is also one of the components of vanilla and cheese. Industrially, the primary use of caproic acid is in the manufacture of its esters for use as artificial flavors and in the manufacture of hexyl derivatives, such as hexylphenols. Caproic acid has been associated with medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, which is an inborn error of metabolism. As a relatively volatile organic compound, caproic acid has been identified as a fecal biomarker of Clostridium difficile infection (PMID: 30986230). Present in apple, wine grapes, butter, licorice and cheeses, e.g. blue cheeses, Cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, feta cheese, gruyere de comte cheese, etcand is) also present in a few essential oils and fruital aromas.

Sedanoic acid
Hexanoic acid, also known as hexanoate or caproic acid, is a member of the class of compounds known as medium-chain fatty acids. Medium-chain fatty acids are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains between 4 and 12 carbon atoms. Thus, hexanoic acid is considered to be a fatty acid lipid molecule. Hexanoic acid is slightly soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Hexanoic acid can be found in a number of food items such as lettuce, squashberry, yellow pond-lily, and cabbage, which makes hexanoic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Hexanoic acid can be found primarily in most biofluids, including cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), saliva, feces, and sweat. Hexanoic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. In humans, hexanoic acid is involved in a couple of metabolic pathways, which include beta oxidation of very long chain fatty acids and fatty acid biosynthesis. Hexanoic acid is also involved in a couple of metabolic disorders, which include mitochondrial beta-oxidation of short chain saturated fatty acids and short-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-coa dehydrogenase deficiency (SCHAD). Moreover, hexanoic acid is found to be associated with medium Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency. Hexanoic acid is a non-carcinogenic (not listed by IARC) potentially toxic compound.
