Stearic acid (/ ˈ s t ɪər ɪ k / STEER-ik, / s t i ˈ ær ɪ k / stee-ARR-ik) is a saturated fatty acid with an 18-carbon chain. [9] The IUPAC name is octadecanoic acid. [9] It is a soft waxy solid with the formula CH 3 (CH 2) 16 CO 2 H. [9] The triglyceride derived from three molecules of stearic acid is called stearin. [9]
Palmitic acid (9–12%) Stearic acid (5.0–8.0%) Tocopherols, sterols, flavonoids, procyanidin, gallotannin and catechins are also found in marula oil. [3] Physical ...
The main constituent of cocoa butter is the monounsaturated fat derived from palmitic acid, oleic acid, and stearic acid. Monounsaturated fats are triglycerides containing one unsaturated fatty acid. Almost invariably that fatty acid is oleic acid (18:1 n−9).

Essential fatty acids, or EFAs, are fatty acids that are required by humans and other animals for normal physiological function that cannot be synthesized in the body. [1] [2] As they are not synthesized in the body, the essential fatty acids – alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and linoleic acid – must be obtained from food or from a dietary supplement.
Sunflower oil is mainly triglycerides (fats), typically derived from the fatty acids linoleic acid and oleic acid. Sunflower oil is mainly a triglyceride. [5] The British Pharmacopoeia lists the following profile: [6] [dubious – discuss] Palmitic acid (saturated): 5%; Stearic acid (saturated): 6%; Oleic acid (monounsaturated omega-9): 30%
Magnesium stearate is often used as an anti-adherent [3] in the manufacture of medical tablets, capsules and powders. [4] In this regard, the substance is also useful because it has lubricating properties, preventing ingredients from sticking to manufacturing equipment during the compression of chemical powders into solid tablets; magnesium stearate is the most commonly used lubricant for ...
