:cis-8-eicosenoic acid
Description:
Cis-8-eicosenoic acid, also known as cis-8-20:1, is a monounsaturated fatty acid characterized by a long hydrocarbon chain consisting of 20 carbon atoms and a single cis double bond located at the eighth carbon from the carboxylic acid end. This structural configuration contributes to its unique physical and chemical properties, such as a relatively low melting point compared to saturated fatty acids of similar chain length, which allows it to remain liquid at room temperature. It is typically found in certain plant oils and is of interest in various applications, including food science and biochemistry, due to its potential health benefits and roles in metabolic processes. The presence of the cis double bond influences its reactivity and interactions with other molecules, making it a subject of study in lipid chemistry. Additionally, its CAS number, 76261-96-6, serves as a unique identifier for regulatory and research purposes, facilitating the tracking and study of this specific fatty acid in scientific literature and databases.
