CAS 1191-41-9: Ethyl linolenate
Description:Ethyl linolenate is an ester derived from linolenic acid and ethanol, classified as a fatty acid ester. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. Ethyl linolenate is known for its unsaturated fatty acid content, specifically containing three double bonds in its carbon chain, which contributes to its reactivity and potential health benefits. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. This compound is often used in the food industry as a flavoring agent and in the cosmetic industry for its emollient properties. Additionally, it has applications in the production of biodiesel and as a potential source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for human health. Ethyl linolenate can undergo oxidation, leading to the formation of peroxides, which can affect its stability and shelf life. Proper storage in a cool, dark environment is essential to maintain its quality. Overall, ethyl linolenate is valued for its functional properties in various industrial applications.
