PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
Geranic acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid that is octa-2,6-dienoic acid bearing two methyl substituents at positions 3 and 7 (the 2E-isomer). It has a role as a pheromone, an EC 1.14.18.1 (tyrosinase) inhibitor, a plant metabolite, an antifungal agent and a melanin synthesis inhibitor. It is a polyunsaturated fatty acid, a methyl-branched fatty acid, a monoterpenoid and an alpha,beta-unsaturated monocarboxylic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a geranate.
