Common NameN-Decane
DescriptionN-Decane, also known as dekan or 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. Thus, N-decane is considered to be a hydrocarbon. N-Decane is an alkane tasting compound. N-Decane is found, on average, in the highest concentration within common oreganos (Origanum vulgare) and safflowers (Carthamus tinctorius). N-Decane has also been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as corns (Zea mays), sweet bays (Laurus nobilis), and sweet cherries (Prunus avium). This could make N-decane a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on N-Decane.
