pyroxidal acid

Found in 1 ingredient across the CompKitchen flavor graph.

Ambiguous name

“pyroxidal acid” does not identify one molecule. Downgraded from 'resolved' by the 2026-08-07 verifier. The name does not match a standard compound; it is probably a corruption of pyridoxal or pyridoxic acid, which are themselves different molecules.

We assign no CAS number, structure or odour threshold to this entry. Guessing one would make the record look more certain than the evidence is.

Look up another compound — search by name, CAS number, PubChem CID, or FEMA #.

Not in FEMA GRAS publications 1-33. Of 3,367 listed flavoring substances, none match this compound name. May still be food-safe under other regulatory routes (FDA 21 CFR 172, EFSA, JECFA) — check femaflavor.org for the authoritative current list.

Measured impact first, then profile share

Every ingredient known to contain pyroxidal acid. Ingredients with a measured concentration come first, ranked by odour activity; the rest follow by how large a share of that ingredient's profile this molecule is. The figure beside each is how many different compounds that ingredient has in total — not the concentration of pyroxidal acid in it.
