Metabolite Identification
Common NameN-Decane
DescriptionN-Decane, also known as CH3-[CH2]8-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. N-Decane is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. Thus, N-decane is considered to be a hydrocarbon lipid molecule. A straight-chain alkane with 10 carbon atoms. N-Decane is an alkane tasting compound. N-Decane is found, on average, in the highest concentration within common oregano and safflowers. N-Decane has also been detected, but not quantified, in a few different foods, such as corns, sweet bay, and sweet cherries.
