Squalene

Description:
Squalene is a naturally occurring triterpene hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C30H50. It is a colorless, odorless liquid that is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Squalene is primarily found in shark liver oil, but it is also present in various plant sources, such as olives and amaranth seeds. This compound plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of steroids and is a key intermediate in the production of cholesterol. Squalene is known for its emollient properties, making it a popular ingredient in cosmetics and skincare products. Additionally, it has garnered attention for its potential health benefits, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. In the pharmaceutical industry, squalene is used as an adjuvant in vaccines to enhance the immune response. Its stability and low toxicity further contribute to its wide range of applications. Overall, squalene is a versatile compound with significant biological and commercial importance.
