Cannabis Compound Identification
Common NameTricosane
DescriptionTricosane, also called n-tricosane, is a straight chain alkane containing 23 carbon atoms. It belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acyclic alkanes. These are acyclic hydrocarbons consisting only of n carbon atoms and m hydrogen atoms where m=2*n + 2. It is a white waxy solid with an alkane taste. It has been detected in common hazelnuts, making tricosane a potential biomarker for this food. As a volatile compound, it has also been found in essential oils of plants, such as Periploca laevigata Aiton subsp. angustifolia (Apocynaceae) (PMID: 22439883 ) and Aerva javanica (Burm.f.) Juss. ex Schult. seed (PMID: 23811454 ). Tricosane is also found in cannabis plants (PMID: 6991645 ) and in cannabis smoke ( Ref:DOI ). Tricosane is volatilized during the combustion of cannabis.
