Metabolite Identification
Common NameEicosane
DescriptionEicosane, also known as CH3-[CH2]18-CH3 or octyldodecane, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkanes. These are acyclic branched or unbranched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2 , and therefore consisting entirely of hydrogen atoms and saturated carbon atoms. Eicosane is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. Thus, eicosane is considered to be a hydrocarbon lipid molecule. Eicosane is an alkane and waxy tasting compound. Eicosane is found, on average, in the highest concentration within lemon balms. Eicosane has also been detected, but not quantified, in several different foods, such as allspices, papaya, coconuts, lindens, and hyssops. This could make eicosane a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. These are acyclic hydrocarbons consisting only of n carbon atoms and m hydrogen atoms where m=2*n + 2.
