Metabolite Identification
Common Name2,3-Dihydroxyvaleric acid
Description2,3-Dihydroxyvaleric acid (DHVA) belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hydroxy fatty acids. These are fatty acids in which the chain bears a hydroxyl group. This compound has been detected in extracts from the purple carrot (https://doi.org/10.3390/app10238493). It is likely a hydroxylation derivative of the more common 2-hydroxyvaleric acid (an algal metabolite derived from a valeric acid) or 3-hydroxyvaleric acid (a 5-carbon ketone body made from odd carbon fatty acids in the liver). Very little is known about the origin of this particular hydroxy fatty acid.
