Iso-C16:0

Description:

Iso-C16:0, also known as isopalmitic acid, is a branched-chain fatty acid characterized by its structure, which includes a 16-carbon chain with a methyl branch at the second carbon. This compound is a saturated fatty acid, meaning it contains no double bonds between carbon atoms, resulting in a straight-chain configuration that contributes to its solid state at room temperature. Iso-C16:0 is typically found in various natural sources, including certain plant oils and animal fats. Its unique branched structure influences its physical properties, such as melting point and solubility, making it less crystalline compared to its straight-chain counterparts. Iso-C16:0 is utilized in various applications, including cosmetics, personal care products, and as a potential ingredient in food formulations. Additionally, it may play a role in biochemical processes and has garnered interest in research related to metabolic pathways. Overall, Iso-C16:0 is a versatile compound with distinct characteristics that differentiate it from other fatty acids.
