CAS 301-00-8: Methyl linolenate
Description:Methyl linolenate is an ester derived from linolenic acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid. It is characterized by its chemical formula C18H32O2 and is classified as a methyl ester. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild, fatty odor. Methyl linolenate is known for its high degree of unsaturation, containing three double bonds in its carbon chain, which contributes to its reactivity and potential health benefits, such as anti-inflammatory properties. It is soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. Methyl linolenate is commonly found in various plant oils, particularly in flaxseed oil, and is used in food products, cosmetics, and as a potential source of omega-3 fatty acids. Its stability can be affected by factors such as light, heat, and oxygen, leading to oxidation, which can impact its flavor and nutritional quality. Overall, methyl linolenate is valued for its nutritional properties and applications in health and wellness.
