  <name>2,6,10-trimethyldodecane</name>
  <description>2,6,10-trimethyldodecane, also known as farnesan, is a member of the class of compounds known as sesquiterpenoids. Sesquiterpenoids are terpenes with three consecutive isoprene units. Thus, 2,6,10-trimethyldodecane is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule. 2,6,10-trimethyldodecane can be found in black walnut, which makes 2,6,10-trimethyldodecane a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
