Wax monoesters are waxes bearing an ester group at exactly one position. Thus, ceryl palmitate is considered to be a fatty ester lipid molecule. Ceryl palmitate is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Ceryl palmitate can be found in loquat and opium poppy, which makes ceryl palmitate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
