Cannabis Compound Identification
Common NameDocosane
DescriptionDocosane, also called n-docosane, is a straight-chain alkane with 22 carbon atoms. It belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkanes. These are acyclic branched or unbranched hydrocarbons, they have the general formula CH3-[CH2]20-CH3, and consist entirely of hydrogen atoms and saturated carbon atoms. Docosane is a hydrocarbon lipid molecule that is a hydrophobic, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. Docosane is waxy taste. It is found in highest concentrations in lemon balms detected in allspices, lindens, papaya, and sunflowers. This could make docosane a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Docosane has been found in the essential oils from plants, such as dill (PMID: 25154406 ) and Periploca laevigata Aiton subsp. angustifolia (Apocynaceae) (PMID: 22439883 ). Docosane is also found in cannabis plants (PMID: 6991645 ) and in cannabis smoke ( Ref:DOI ). It is volatilized during the combustion of cannabis.
