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.[1]

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.[2][3]
  • Modified Folch procedure for the extraction of plasma lipids.[4]
  • Estimation of fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) in biodiesel by gas chromatography.[5]

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).
