In chemical terms, oleic acid is classified as a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid, abbreviated with a lipid number of 18:1 cis-9, and a main product of Δ9-desaturase. [2] It has the formula CH 3 −(CH 2) 7 −CH=CH−(CH 2) 7 −COOH. [3] The name derives from the Latin word oleum, which means oil. [4] It is the most common fatty acid in ...
Elaidic acid is an unsaturated trans fatty acid, with code C18:1 trans-9. This compound has attracted attention because it is a major trans fat found in hydrogenated vegetable oils, and trans fats have been implicated in heart disease. [1] It is the trans isomer of oleic acid. The name of the elaidinization reaction comes from elaidic acid.
Oleic acid has 18 carbons, is found in most animal fats and olive oil, and is a cis-9-monounsaturated fatty acid.
