Common Name | N-Dodecane |
---|
Description | N-Dodecane, also known as bihexyl or CH3-[CH2]10-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, N-dodecane is considered to be a hydrocarbon. N-Dodecane is an alkane tasting compound. N-Dodecane is found, on average, in the highest concentration within black walnuts (Juglans nigra). N-Dodecane has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as soy beans (Glycine max), carrots (Daucus carota ssp. sativus), papayas (Carica papaya), mung beans (Vigna radiata), and sweet cherries (Prunus avium). This could make N-dodecane a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. N-Dodecane 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. N-Dodecane, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as asthma and clostridium difficile infection; N-dodecane has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder celiac disease. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on N-Dodecane. |
