Decanal is a colorless to light-yellow liquid. The main use of decanal is for citrus tones and for the manufacture of synthetic citrus oils. In addition, the C10 aldehydes have value as intermediates in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and in the polymer and pesticide fields.

Decanal, also known as n-decyl aldehyde or caprinaldehyde, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as medium-chain aldehydes. These are an aldehyde with a chain length containing between 6 and 12 carbon atoms. 
Thus, decanal is considered to be a fatty aldehyde lipid molecule. 
Decanal is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. 
Decanal is a sweet, aldehydic, and citrus tasting compound. 
Decanal is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as corianders, dills, and gingers and in a lower concentration in limes, sweet oranges, and safflowers. 

Decanal has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as fishes, cauliflowers, citrus, fats and oils, and lemon grass. This could make decanal a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
Decanal is a potentially toxic compound. 
Decanal, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as uremia, asthma, and perillyl alcohol administration for cancer treatment; decanal has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder celiac disease. 
Decanal occurs naturally and is used in fragrances and flavoring.  Decanal occurs naturally and is used in fragrances and flavoring. 
Decanal occurs in nature and is an important component in citrus along with octanal, citral, and sinensal. 
Decanal is also an important component of buckwheat odour.
