General description

Ethyl Tricosanoate is an ethyl ester of tricosanoic acid. It has been reported to be one of the ester components responsible for the flavor of scotch whisky.

Application

Ethyl Tricosanoate may be employed as an internal standard in the following studies:
  • Quantification of fatty acids in squid visceral oil ethyl esters (SVOEE) isolated from Illex argentinus and Ommastrephes bartrami by gas chromatography.
  • Modified Folch procedure for the extraction of plasma lipids.
  • Estimation of fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) in biodiesel by gas chromatography.

Efficacy of (13)C-U-18:2n-6 and (2)H(5)-20:3n-6 toward synthesis of labeled-20:4n-6 was studied in newborn infants utilizing compartmental models of plasma labeled n-6 fatty acids (FA). Ten infants received oral doses of (13)C-U-18:2n-6 and (2)H(5)-20:3n-6 ethyl esters (100 and 2 mg/kg, respectively).
