:6,9,13-Octadecatrienoic acid
Description:
6,9,13-Octadecatrienoic acid, also known as alpha-eleostearic acid, is a polyunsaturated fatty acid characterized by its three double bonds located at the 6th, 9th, and 13th carbon positions of the 18-carbon chain. This fatty acid is primarily found in certain plant oils, particularly in the seeds of the tung tree and some other sources. It is notable for its unique configuration of double bonds, which contributes to its distinct physical and chemical properties, such as a lower melting point compared to saturated fatty acids. The presence of multiple double bonds makes it susceptible to oxidation, which can affect its stability and shelf life. 6,9,13-Octadecatrienoic acid is of interest in various fields, including nutrition and biochemistry, due to its potential health benefits and applications in food and cosmetic industries. Additionally, it can serve as a precursor for the synthesis of other bioactive compounds. Its CAS number, 89022-36-6, is used for identification in chemical databases and regulatory contexts.
