trans-ricinelaidic acid free acid

Description:

Trans-ricinelaidic acid, also known as trans-9-octadecenoic acid, is a fatty acid characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain and a single cis double bond in the trans configuration. It is an unsaturated fatty acid derived from castor oil and is notable for its unique structural properties, which influence its physical and chemical behavior. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Its melting point is relatively low compared to saturated fatty acids, which allows it to remain liquid at room temperature. Trans-ricinelaidic acid is used in various applications, including cosmetics, lubricants, and as an emulsifier in food products. The presence of the trans double bond can affect the melting point and stability of the fatty acid, making it of interest in both industrial and nutritional contexts. Additionally, it is important to handle this substance with care, as with other fatty acids, due to potential health and environmental impacts.
