Description

Tricosanoic acid, also known as lignoceric acid, is a saturated fatty acid with the chemical formula CH3(CH2)21COOH. It is a white, waxy solid that is found in small amounts in many plant and animal fats. Tricosanoic acid is not typically synthesized in a laboratory setting, as it is readily available from natural sources. Its effects on the human body are not well understood, but it has been shown to have some potential benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties and a possible role in reducing cholesterol levels. Tricosanoic acid has been studied in the context of its potential use as a dietary supplement and its role in various biological processes, including cell signaling and membrane structure. Research into tricosanoic acid is ongoing, and further studies are needed to fully understand its properties and potential applications.'

tricosanoic acid : A very long-chain fatty acid that is tricosane in which one of the methyl groups has been oxidised to the corresponding carboxylic acid.
