  <name>(Z)-2-Heptenal</name>
  <description>(z)-2-heptenal is a member of the class of compounds known as medium-chain aldehydes. Medium-chain aldehydes are an aldehyde with a chain length containing between 6 and 12 carbon atoms (z)-2-heptenal is slightly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). (z)-2-heptenal can be found in safflower, which makes (z)-2-heptenal a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
