These are acyclic branched or unbranched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2, and consist entirely of hydrogen atoms and saturated carbon atoms. Tetradecane is a hydrocarbon lipid molecule. Tetradecane is very hydrophobic, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. Tetradecane is a mild, alkane, and waxy taste. It is found in highest concentrations within black walnuts. Tetradecane has also been detected in lemon balms, common buckwheats, cucumbers, allspices, and green bell peppers. This could make tetradecane a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.Alkanes, C14-16Alkanes, C14-30n-TETRADECANE, 99%Paraffinic hydrocarbons (C14-C30)TetradecaneTetradekanC14H30198.388198.23475096629-59-4CCCCCCCCCCCCCCInChI=1S/C14H30/c1-3-5-7-9-11-13-14-12-10-8-6-4-2/h3-14H2,1-2H3BGHCVCJVXZWKCC-UHFFFAOYSA-N belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkanes.
