About Lignoceric Acid
Lignoceric acid, or tetracosanoic acid, is the saturated fatty acid with formula C₂₃H₄₇COOH. It is found in wood tar, various cerebrosides, and in small amounts in most natural fats. The fatty acids of peanut oil contain small amounts of lignoceric acid. This fatty acid is also a byproduct of lignin production.
