Metabolite Identification
Common NameNonane
DescriptionNonane, also known as N-nonane or CH3-[CH2]7-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, nonane is considered to be a hydrocarbon. Nonane is an alkane and gasoline tasting compound. Nonane is found, on average, in the highest concentration within limes (Citrus aurantiifolia) and common oreganos (Origanum vulgare). Nonane has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as garden tomato (var.), gingers (Zingiber officinale), pepper (spice), cauliflowers (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis), and celeriacs (Apium graveolens var. rapaceum). This could make nonane a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Nonane is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Nonane.
