Chemical Information
FooDB NameNeric acid
DescriptionCis-geranic acid, also known as cis-geranate, is a member of the class of compounds known as acyclic monoterpenoids. Acyclic monoterpenoids are monoterpenes that do not contain a cycle. Thus, cis-geranic acid is considered to be a fatty acid lipid molecule. Cis-geranic acid is slightly soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Cis-geranic acid can be found in ginger, which makes cis-geranic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
