Chemical Information
FooDB Nameall-trans-retinyl palmitate
DescriptionRetinyl palmitate, also known as vitamin a palmitate or aquasol a, is a member of the class of compounds known as wax monoesters. Wax monoesters are waxes bearing an ester group at exactly one position. Thus, retinyl palmitate is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule. Retinyl palmitate is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Retinyl palmitate can be found in a number of food items such as rocket salad (sspecies), black elderberry, common grape, and vaccinium (blueberry, cranberry, huckleberry), which makes retinyl palmitate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Retinyl palmitate can be found primarily in blood, as well as throughout most human tissues. In humans, retinyl palmitate is involved in the retinol metabolism. Retinyl palmitate is also involved in vitamin A deficiency, which is a metabolic disorder. An alternate spelling, retinol palmitate, which violates the -yl organic chemical naming convention for esters, is also frequently seen .
