Chemical Information
FooDB NameHexacosane
DescriptionHexacosane, also known as CH3-[CH2]24-CH3, is straight-chain alkane comprised of 26 carbon atoms. It belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkanes. These are acyclic branched or unbranched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2, and consist entirely of hydrogen atoms andsaturated carbon atoms. Hexacosane is a hydrocarbon lipid molecule that is very hydrophobic, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. Hexacosane has been detected in peachs, sunflowers, parsnips, coconuts, and papaya. This could make hexacosane a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Hexacosane, isolated from Sansevieria liberica, exhibited antimicrobial activity against Klebsiela pnemoniae, Salmonela typhi, Mithecithinne staphaureus and Proteus vulgaris ( http://oaji.net/articles/2016/2853-1456142774.pdf).
