:5,9,12-Octadecatrienoic acid, methyl ester, (5E,9Z,12Z)-
Description:
5,9,12-Octadecatrienoic acid, methyl ester, commonly known as methyl alpha-linolenate, is a methyl ester derived from alpha-linolenic acid, an essential omega-3 fatty acid. This compound features three double bonds located at the 5th, 9th, and 12th carbon positions, which contribute to its unsaturated nature. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. The presence of multiple double bonds makes it susceptible to oxidation, which can affect its stability and shelf life. Methyl alpha-linolenate is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. It is often used in the food industry as a dietary supplement and in the formulation of functional foods due to its health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties and potential cardiovascular benefits. Additionally, it serves as a precursor in the synthesis of various bioactive compounds and can be utilized in research related to lipid metabolism and nutrition. Proper storage in a cool, dark environment is essential to maintain its quality and prevent degradation.
