CAS 544-35-4: Ethyl linoleate
Description:Ethyl linoleate is an ester derived from linoleic acid and ethanol, characterized by its chemical formula C18H34O2. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild, pleasant odor, commonly found in various natural oils, including those from plants and seeds. Ethyl linoleate is known for its emulsifying and solubilizing properties, making it useful in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications. It has a relatively low viscosity and is soluble in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water. The substance is stable under normal conditions but can undergo oxidation when exposed to air, leading to the formation of peroxides and other degradation products. Ethyl linoleate is also recognized for its potential health benefits, as linoleic acid is an essential fatty acid that plays a crucial role in human nutrition. However, like many esters, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes. Overall, ethyl linoleate is valued for its functional properties and versatility in various industries.
