Note

Heneicosane, also known as CH3-[CH2]19-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, heneicosane is considered to be a hydrocarbon lipid molecule. Heneicosane is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. Heneicosane is an alkane and waxy tasting compound. Heneicosane is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as black elderberries, common oregano, and lemon balms. Heneicosane has also been detected, but not quantified, in several different foods, such as sunflowers, kohlrabis, orange bell peppers, lindens, and pepper (c. annuum). This could make heneicosane a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. An alkane that has 21 carbons and a straight-chain structure.
