Description	Cis-gadoleic acid, also known as (Z)-eicos-9-enoic acid or 9c-eicosensaeure, is a member of the class of compounds known as long-chain fatty acids. Long-chain fatty acids are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains between 13 and 21 carbon atoms. Thus, cis-gadoleic acid is considered to be a fatty acid lipid molecule. Cis-gadoleic acid is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Cis-gadoleic acid can be found in a number of food items such as breakfast cereal, allium (onion), carrot, and sugar substitute, which makes cis-gadoleic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Cis-gadoleic acid can be found primarily in blood and feces.
