Description

• General description: Undecanoic acid is a volatile free fatty acid that is reported to occur as a flavor compound in milk fat, cheese and meat lipids.[1][2][3][4][5]
• Application: Undecanoic Acid and L-Phenylalanine in Vermiculite: Detection, Characterization, and UV Degradation Studies for Biosignature Identification on Mars.: This research focuses on the detection and characterization of undecanoic acid and L-phenylalanine in vermiculite, with potential applications for biosignature identification on Mars. The study also examines UV degradation, which is crucial for astrobiological research (McIntosh et al., 2024).Drugs Form Ternary Complexes with Human Liver Fatty Acid Binding Protein 1 (FABP1) and FABP1 Binding Alters Drug Metabolism.: This paper explores how drugs interact with human liver fatty acid binding protein 1 (FABP1), including the involvement of undecanoic acid, to form ternary complexes that influence drug metabolism. These findings have significant implications for pharmacology and drug development (Yabut et al., 2024).Enhancing antifungal and biocompatible efficacy of undecanoic acid through incorporation with chitosan-based nanoemulsion.: This study demonstrates the enhanced antifungal and biocompatible properties of undecanoic acid when incorporated into a chitosan-based nanoemulsion, highlighting potential biomedical applications for this compound (Sathiyaseelan et al., 2024).In Vitro Evaluation of Essential Oils and Saturated Fatty Acids for Repellency against the Old-World Sand Fly, Phlebotomus papatasi (Scopoli) (Diptera: Psychodidae).: This research evaluates the repellency of essential oils and saturated fatty acids, including undecanoic acid, against the Old-World sand fly. The findings provide insights into developing natural repellents for vector control (Temeyer et al., 2024).
