(6Z,9Z)-6,9-Octadecadienoic acid

Description:
(6Z,9Z)-6,9-Octadecadienoic acid, commonly known as alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), is a polyunsaturated fatty acid belonging to the omega-3 family. It is characterized by its long carbon chain, consisting of 18 carbon atoms and two double bonds located at the 6th and 9th positions from the carboxylic acid end. This configuration gives it a cis (Z) configuration, which is significant for its biological activity. ALA is an essential fatty acid, meaning it cannot be synthesized by the human body and must be obtained through diet, primarily from plant sources such as flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts. It plays a crucial role in various physiological processes, including anti-inflammatory responses and cardiovascular health. ALA is also a precursor to other important omega-3 fatty acids, such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). In terms of physical properties, it is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents. Its health benefits and nutritional importance have made it a subject of extensive research in the fields of nutrition and medicine.
