  <name>3-Methyltridecane</name>
  <description>3-methyltridecane is a member of the class of compounds known as branched alkanes. Branched alkanes are acyclic branched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2. Thus, 3-methyltridecane is considered to be a hydrocarbon lipid molecule. 3-methyltridecane can be found in black walnut, which makes 3-methyltridecane a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
