General description

Anteiso-fatty acids (aFA) contain odd number of carbon atoms. It belongs to a family of branched chain fatty acids (BCFA). aFA is a chiral molecule and the (S)-enantiomers are the primary form. A methyl-substituent is present at the antepenultimate carbon of the carboxyalkyl chain. Anteiso 15:0 Fatty acid is found in food and bacteria.[1]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Anteiso 15:0 fatty acid plays a major role in the growth of Listeria monocytogenes even at low temperatures.[2]
