Product Information

• Name: Methyl 13(E)-docosenoate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Methyl 13(E)-docosenoate is a fatty acid methyl ester, which is a chemical compound synthesized from the esterification of erucic acid, a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid. It is predominantly sourced from seed oils, such as rapeseed oil, where erucic acid is naturally abundant. The process of transesterification is employed to generate this ester from triglycerides, utilizing methanol as the alcohol moiety.
