Palmitic acid

Description:

Palmitic acid, also known as hexadecanoic acid, is a saturated fatty acid with the chemical formula C16H32O2. It is a white, waxy solid at room temperature and is one of the most common saturated fatty acids found in animals and plants. Palmitic acid is characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain, which contributes to its hydrophobic properties, making it insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It has a melting point that allows it to exist as a solid at room temperature, and it is often used in the production of soaps, cosmetics, and food products. In biological systems, palmitic acid plays a crucial role as a component of triglycerides and phospholipids, serving as an energy source and structural component of cell membranes. Additionally, it is involved in various metabolic processes and can influence lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Its CAS number, 57-10-3, is a unique identifier that facilitates its identification in chemical databases and regulatory frameworks.
