Description	Hentriacontan-16-ol is a member of the class of compounds known as long-chain fatty alcohols. Long-chain fatty alcohols are fatty alcohols that have an aliphatic tail of 13 to 21 carbon atoms. Thus, hentriacontan-16-ol is considered to be a fatty alcohol lipid molecule. Hentriacontan-16-ol is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Hentriacontan-16-ol can be found in common pea and pepper (spice), which makes hentriacontan-16-ol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
