Anteiso-C18:0

Description:
Anteiso-C18:0, also known as anteiso-18-methyl stearic acid, is a branched-chain fatty acid characterized by its unique structure, which includes a methyl group on the anteiso position of the carbon chain. This compound is a saturated fatty acid with a long hydrocarbon chain, specifically consisting of 18 carbon atoms. Its molecular formula is C18H36O2, and it is typically found in certain bacterial membranes and can be produced through microbial fermentation processes. Anteiso-C18:0 exhibits properties typical of saturated fatty acids, such as being solid at room temperature and having a high melting point. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. This fatty acid plays a role in various biochemical processes and can influence the fluidity and stability of cell membranes. Additionally, it has applications in the food industry, cosmetics, and as a potential biofuel component. Its unique branched structure differentiates it from straight-chain fatty acids, impacting its physical and chemical properties.
