Metabolite Identification
Common NameOctacosane
DescriptionOctacosane, also known as CH3-[CH2]26-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. Octacosane is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. Thus, octacosane is considered to be a hydrocarbon lipid molecule. Octacosane has been detected, but not quantified, in several different foods, such as peachs, coconuts, apples, sweet cherries, and lindens. This could make octacosane a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. A straight-chain alkane containing 28 carbon atoms.
