(13Z)-13-Heptadecenoic acid

Description:
(13Z)-13-Heptadecenoic acid, also known as vaccenic acid, is a monounsaturated fatty acid characterized by a long hydrocarbon chain with a double bond located at the 13th carbon from the carboxylic acid end, in the Z configuration. This fatty acid typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It is primarily found in ruminant fats and dairy products, contributing to the nutritional profile of these foods. The presence of the double bond imparts unique properties, such as increased fluidity compared to saturated fatty acids, which can influence membrane dynamics in biological systems. (13Z)-13-Heptadecenoic acid is of interest in various fields, including nutrition, biochemistry, and food science, due to its potential health benefits and roles in metabolic processes. Additionally, it can serve as a precursor for the synthesis of other bioactive compounds and is studied for its implications in human health, particularly in relation to cardiovascular diseases and lipid metabolism.
