Uses
2-Hexadecanone (Methyl tetradecyl ketone) may be used to compose the graphite suspension required for the fabrication of thick-cover spray-printed electrodes by spray-printing process. It may be used for the preparation of solid binding matrix (SBM)-based composite electrodes for the construction of simple amperometric biosensor for sensitive detection of various pH-sensitive redox-active compounds.
Uses
2-Hexadecanone is a saturated long chain alkyl ketone. Studies show that 2-Hexadecanone is an excellent anticholesteremic that reduces serum cholesterol levels significantly without altering triglycer
ide levels. 2-Hexadecanone is a volatile constituent found in cooked meats as well as in essential oils from various flowers and plants.
Definition
ChEBI: Hexadecan-2-one is a ketone.
General Description
2-Hexadecanone (Methyl tetradecyl ketone) is a long chain aliphatic ketone. It has been identified as one of the air borne volatile electroantennographic active compound released from the
Hoplia equina females (scarab beetle). The analysis was obtained by gas chromatographic analysis.
