Metabolite Identification
Common NameTridecane
DescriptionTridecane, also known as CH3-[CH2]11-CH3 or tridekan, 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, tridecane is considered to be a hydrocarbon. Tridecane is an alkane tasting compound. Tridecane is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as black walnuts (Juglans nigra), limes (Citrus aurantiifolia), and safflowers (Carthamus tinctorius). Tridecane has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as sweet bays (Laurus nobilis), citrus, cauliflowers (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis), allspices (Pimenta dioica), and cardamoms (Elettaria cardamomum). This could make tridecane a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Tridecane 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 Tridecane.
