10,12-Octadecadienoic acid

Description:
10,12-Octadecadienoic acid, also known as conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), is a polyunsaturated fatty acid characterized by its two double bonds located at the 10th and 12th carbon atoms of the 18-carbon chain. This fatty acid is primarily found in the fat of ruminant animals and in dairy products. It exists in several isomeric forms, with the most studied being the cis-9, trans-11 and trans-10, cis-12 isomers, which are known for their potential health benefits, including anti-carcinogenic properties and effects on body composition. 10,12-Octadecadienoic acid is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Its molecular structure contributes to its reactivity and functionality in various biochemical processes. Additionally, it is often used in dietary supplements and functional foods due to its purported health benefits, although further research is ongoing to fully understand its mechanisms and effects in human health.
