cis-7-octadecenoic acid

Description:
Cis-7-octadecenoic acid, also known as oleic acid, is a monounsaturated fatty acid characterized by a long hydrocarbon chain with a double bond located at the seventh carbon from the carboxylic acid end. This configuration gives it the "cis" designation, indicating that the hydrogen atoms adjacent to the double bond are on the same side, which influences its physical properties. It is a colorless to yellowish liquid at room temperature and has a characteristic fatty odor. The presence of the double bond contributes to its lower melting point compared to saturated fatty acids, making it liquid at room temperature. Cis-7-octadecenoic acid is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. It is commonly found in various natural oils, such as olive oil and canola oil, and plays a significant role in nutrition and biochemistry. Additionally, it is used in the production of soaps, cosmetics, and as a lubricant in various industrial applications. Its health benefits include potential anti-inflammatory properties and contributions to heart health when consumed in moderation.
