描述
Sterculate, also known as sterculic acid or 2-octyl-1-cyclopropene-1-octanoic 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. Sterculate is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Sterculate can be found in a number of food items such as persian lime, sesbania flower, common buckwheat, and vanilla, which makes sterculate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
