White Solid | [Uses]
It is used in the production of lipid and fatty acids. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Hexadecanal is a long-chain fatty aldehyde and a 2,3-saturated fatty aldehyde. It has a role as a human metabolite, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite and a mouse metabolite. | [in vivo]
Hexadecanal (0.48 ng/μL, 4 h) administrated with 2-heptadecanone (1.4 ng/μL, 4 h) increases visiting ( "touching”) and approaching ( "close”) the control honey-water in ants[2]. |
