What is METHYL LINOLEATE?

Chemical properties

Clear pale to dark yellow liquid

Occurrence

Reported found in banana, grape, grapefruit juice, melon, strawberries, mushroom and cassava.

The Uses of METHYL LINOLEATE

Methyl Linoleate is a common methyl ester produced from soybean or canola oil and methanol. Methyl Linoleate is classified as a biodiesel due to its long methyl ester chain and is used as a fuel in st andard diesel engines.

The Uses of METHYL LINOLEATE

In the vitamin industry.

The Uses of METHYL LINOLEATE

The oxidation of methyl linoleate in organic solution and phosphatidylcholine (PC) in liposomal membranes induced by an azo initiator has often been used as a model for lipid peroxidation in vivo Methyl linoleate may be used as a model compound in oxidation/peroxidation assays to evaluate the anti-peroxidation activity of fullerenes, ellagitannins and other natural products.

Definition

ChEBI: A fatty acid methyl ester of linoleic acid. It has been isolated from Neolitsea daibuensis.

General Description

Methyl linoleate, non-conjugated, is more easily oxidized than conjugated methyl linoleate .

Biochem/physiol Actions

Methyl linoleate may be used as a model compound in oxidation/peroxidation assays to evaluate the anti-peroxidation activity of fullerenes, ellagitannins and other natural products.
