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. Secondary product of butyric acid fermentation. Flavouring ingredient KEIO_ID C035
phlorisobutyrophenone
Phlorisobutyrophenone, also known as 2-methyl-1-(2,4,6-trihydroxyphenyl)-1-propanone or 1-isobutanoyl-2,4,6-trihydroxybenzene, is a member of the class of compounds known as alkyl-phenylketones. Alkyl-phenylketones are aromatic compounds containing a ketone substituted by one alkyl group, and a phenyl group. Phlorisobutyrophenone is slightly soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Phlorisobutyrophenone can be found in a number of food items such as chickpea, common cabbage, angelica, and swamp cabbage, which makes phlorisobutyrophenone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Nonane
Nonane is found in common oregano. Nonane is present in numerous plant oils including olive oils.Nonane is a linear alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C9H20. Nonane has 35 structural isomers. (Wikipedia Present in numerous plant oils including olive oils
