It belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acyclic alkanes. These are acyclic hydrocarbons consisting only of n carbon atoms and m hydrogen atoms where m=2*n + 2. It is a white waxy solid with an alkane taste. It has been detected in common hazelnuts, making tricosane a potential biomarker for this food. As a volatile compound, it has also been found in essential oils of plants, such as Periploca laevigata Aiton subsp. angustifolia (Apocynaceae) (PMID: 22439883) and Aerva javanica (Burm.f.) Juss. ex Schult. seed (PMID: 23811454).
