PALMITOLEIC ACID METHYL ESTER Structural

What is PALMITOLEIC ACID METHYL ESTER?

Description

Palmitoleic acid methyl ester is an ester version of palmitoleic acid , an ω-7 monounsaturated fatty acid that is a common constituent of the triglycerides of human adipose tissue. Palmitoleic acid-based diets raise low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, even when dietary intake of cholesterol is maintained at a low level. Methyl esters of fatty acids are commonly used for the formulation of fatty acid-containing diets and dietary supplements.

The Uses of PALMITOLEIC ACID METHYL ESTER

Methyl Palmitoleate is used as a component in the preparation of a biodiesel fuels.

What are the applications of Application

Methyl palmitoleate is a component in the preparation of biodiesel fuels

Definition

ChEBI: A fatty acid methyl ester obtained from the formal condensation of methanol and palmitoleic acid.

General Description

Methyl palmitoleate is a major component of biodiesel having low temperature property, which is found to be more advantageous than methyl oleate.
