Chemical Information
FooDB NameN-Decane
DescriptionDecane, also known as n-Decane or CH3-[CH2]8-CH3, is a straight-chain alkane with 10 carbon atoms. It belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkanes. These are acyclic branched or unbranched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2, and consist entirely of hydrogen atoms and saturated carbon atoms. N-decane is a hydrocarbon lipid molecule that is very hydrophobic, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. N-Decane is an alkane taste. N-Decane is found in highest concentrations in common oregano and safflowers and also in corns, sweet bay, and sweet cherries ( http://www.thegoodscentscompany.com/data/rw1353501.html#tooccur).
