The things to do while naming organic compounds are to

  1. find the longest carbon chain and specify the proper word root for it.
  2. Look for double or triple binds and if there are any name its suffix as -ene or -yne.
  3. Look for any substituent or functional group attached.
  4. If there are any, then the one with low priority comes as prefix and higher priority

    one comes as suffix.

Why are organic compounds often added to food?

Organic compounds are added to foods as stabilizers, colorants, reactants, basic ingredients, flavor enhancers, aroma enhancers and for many other reasons depending on the product.By definition, an organic compound is any compound that contains carbon, since organic chemistry is the study of carbon compounds, living or non-living, animate or inanimate. Therefore, sugar is an organic compound, baking soda is an organic compound, and so is vinegar, cream of tartar and corn starch. Every herb in your spice rack is a complexity of organic compounds, as is every living (or once living) thing. The oil and gasoline in your automobile are both mixtures of organic compounds, as are almost all plastics. Your body consists almost entirely of organic compounds. The cotton plant consists almost entirely of cellulose, a naturally occurring organic compound that is virtually identical to rayon, a synthetically produced organic compound both used in textiles.In the food business, the benzene-based aromatic hydrocarbons are important organics, since many of the flavors and aromas we know and love (or don't love), whether naturally occurring or synthesized, are based on the benzene ring.
