Description

Behenic acid is a fatty acid that has been used as a fluorescence probe for the detection of water vapor. It has shown to have antibacterial efficacy against bacteria including Acinetobacter baumannii, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Behenic acid is also known to inhibit the synthesis of fatty acids in rat liver microsomes and to have biological properties such as the ability to induce hepatic steatosis. This fatty acid is found in some lichens and can be purified from them using an analytical method involving constant-pressure liquid chromatography. Behenic acid is also found in behen oil, which is produced by pressing nuts from the seed of the beech tree.
