Valeric acid

Comments

 
Picture
Straight-chain alkyl carboxylic fatty acid with a penetrating unpleasant fatty-earthy odor, acidic and sharp, old cheese-like, sour-milky, sweaty, rancid, resembling tobacco with fruity nuances.  One of SFCAs (n=6). Molecular formula: C5H10O2
Found naturally in the perennial flowering plant 
valerian (Valeriana officinalis). Volatile esters of valeric acid tend to have pleasant fruity odors and are used in perfumes and cosmetics. 

Valeric acid can cause irritation if it comes into contact with the skin, eyes, or mucous membranes.

It can be detected in human 
blood, feces, saliva and urine as Lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, clostridia, and enterococci secrete valerate as well as other acids including acetate, propionate, butyrate, and lactic acid.
