Metabolite Identification
Common NameTricosane
DescriptionTricosane, also known as CH3-[CH2]21-CH3, 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. Thus, tricosane is considered to be a hydrocarbon lipid molecule. Tricosane is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Tricosane is an alkane tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Tricosane has been detected, but not quantified in, common hazelnuts. This could make tricosane a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. A straight chain alkane containing 23 carbon atoms.
