(9E,12Z)-octadeca-9,12-dienoic acid

Description:
(9E,12Z)-octadeca-9,12-dienoic acid, commonly known as eleostearic acid, is a naturally occurring fatty acid characterized by its long carbon chain and two double bonds located at the 9th and 12th positions in the trans and cis configurations, respectively. This polyunsaturated fatty acid is primarily found in certain plant oils, particularly in the seeds of the tung tree and some other tropical plants. Its molecular structure contributes to its unique physical properties, such as a relatively high melting point compared to saturated fatty acids of similar chain length. Eleostearic acid is notable for its potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties and its role in skin health. Additionally, it is used in various industrial applications, including the production of drying oils and coatings due to its ability to polymerize upon exposure to air. The presence of double bonds in its structure makes it susceptible to oxidation, which is an important consideration in its storage and use.
