Chemical Information
FooDB NameAnacardic acid
DescriptionFound in cashew nut shell Anacardic acids are chemical compounds found in the shell of the cashew nut (Anacardium occidentale). Chemically, anacardic acid is a mixture of several closely related organic compounds. Each consists of a salicylic acid substituted with an alkyl chain that has 15 or 17 carbon atoms; anacardic acid is a mixture of saturated and unsaturated molecules. The exact mixture depends on the species of the plant and the major component is C5:3 all-Z.
