heptadec-16-enoic acid

Description:
Heptadec-16-enoic acid, also known as margaroleic acid, is a long-chain unsaturated fatty acid characterized by its 17 carbon atoms and a double bond located at the 16th carbon position. This fatty acid is part of the omega-9 family, which is known for its potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties. Heptadec-16-enoic acid is typically found in certain plant oils and animal fats, contributing to the nutritional profile of these substances. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. The presence of the double bond introduces a kink in the molecular structure, affecting its physical properties, such as melting point and viscosity. This fatty acid can be utilized in various applications, including food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, due to its emollient properties and potential health benefits. As with many fatty acids, it can undergo oxidation, which may affect its stability and shelf life.
