Fatty Acids, Soya CAS#68308-53-2

Soybean oleic acid is a mixed fatty acid derived from soybean oil through hydrolysis and other processing methods. Its main constituents include unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid (ω-9), linoleic acid (ω-6), and linolenic acid (ω-3), along with a small proportion of saturated fatty acids like palmitic acid and stearic acid. Typically, linoleic acid makes up about 50–60%, oleic acid about 20–30%, and linolenic acid about 5–10% of the composition.

Physically, it appears as a light yellow, transparent, oil-like liquid that may partially solidify at low temperatures. It possesses a characteristic oily aroma and a mild taste.

Product Usage

Soybean oleic acid is widely applied across multiple industries. In the food sector, it is used to produce margarine, shortening, and cocoa butter substitutes, enhancing both taste and quality. In the chemical industry, it serves as a key raw material for manufacturing soaps, detergents, fatty acid esters, paints, inks, and other products. In the pharmaceutical field, it is utilized in the preparation of certain drug intermediates and nutritional supplements. Additionally, it can be used as a raw material for surfactants, lubricants, and plasticizers, as well as in biodiesel production, offering both economic and environmental benefits.
