9-Octadecenoic acid (9Z)-, potassium salt

Description:
9-Octadecenoic acid (9Z)-, potassium salt, commonly known as potassium oleate, is a potassium salt of oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid. This compound is characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain, which contributes to its amphiphilic nature, allowing it to function effectively as a surfactant and emulsifying agent. It typically appears as a white to yellowish powder or flakes and is soluble in water, forming a viscous solution. The presence of a double bond in the cis configuration at the ninth carbon position imparts unique properties, such as fluidity and flexibility, which are beneficial in various applications, including food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Potassium oleate is also known for its ability to stabilize emulsions and enhance the solubility of hydrophobic compounds. Additionally, it exhibits antimicrobial properties, making it useful in preserving formulations. Its safety profile is generally favorable, but like all chemical substances, it should be handled with care, following appropriate safety guidelines.
