Chemical Information
FooDB NameHexacosanoic acid
DescriptionCerate consists essentially of wax (for which resin or spermaceti is sometimes substituted) mixed with oil, lard, and various medicinal ingredients. The cerate (formerly called simply cerate) of the United States Pharmacopoeia is a mixture of three parts of white wax and seven parts of lard.; Cerate is an unctuous preparation for external application, of a consistency intermediate between that of an ointment and a plaster, so that it can be spread upon cloth without the use of heat, but does not melt when applied to the skin.; X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is a peroxisomal disorder biochemically characterized by the accumulation of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA), particularly hexacosanoic acid (C(26:0)) and tetracosanoic acid (C(24:0)), in tissues and biological fluids. (PMID 16750542). Hexacosanoic acid is found in many foods, some of which are fig, mung bean, cottonseed, and flaxseed.
