Dehydrosafynol
Dehydrosafynol, also known as (2r,11e)-11-tridecene-3,5,7,9-tetrayne-1,2-diol, is a member of the class of compounds known as long-chain fatty alcohols. Long-chain fatty alcohols are fatty alcohols that have an aliphatic tail of 13 to 21 carbon atoms. Thus, dehydrosafynol is considered to be a fatty alcohol lipid molecule. Dehydrosafynol is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Dehydrosafynol can be found in safflower, which makes dehydrosafynol a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
