Dihydrophytol is a saturated diterpene alcohol that functions as a key metabolic intermediate in the endogenous biosynthetic pathway leading to phytanic acid. Dihydrophytol is biochemically produced from the unsaturated alcohol phytol via a hydrogenation process that occurs primarily in the rumen of cattle through the metabolic activity of resident microorganisms.
