white shiny fluffy or crystalline powder | [Uses]
Hexacosanoic acid may be used as a reference standard for the determination of hexacosanoic acid
- in human serum and plasma samples for the screening of peroxisomal disorders by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) operating under selected-ion monitoring (SIM) mode
- in biological samples by GC-MS
- in microalgal lipids by solid-phase extraction (SPE) followed by GC-MS analysis
- as a naphthoxyethyl derivative by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with fluorometric detection
| [Definition]
ChEBI: A 26-carbon, straight-chain, saturated fatty acid. | [General Description]
Hexacosanoic acid is classified under the very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) group of biologically important compounds. | [Purification Methods]
Crystallise the acid from EtOH, aqueous EtOH and pet ether/Me2CO. [Beilstein 2 IV 1310.] |
