| | HEPTADECANOIC ACID Usage And Synthesis |
| Description | Heptadecanoic acid, or margaric acid, is a saturated fatty acid. Its molecular formula is CH3(CH2)15COOH. It occurs as a trace component of the fat and milkfat of ruminants, but it does not occur in any natural animal or vegetable fat at concentrations over half a percent. Salts and esters of heptadecanoic acid are called heptadecanoates. | | Chemical Properties | off-white powder | | Uses | Heptadecanoic acid is a saturated fatty acid and occurs as a trace component of the fat in ruminants. | | Uses | Heptadecanoic acid is used as a reference during the analysis of medium-chain fatty acids from biomaterials such as seed oils and plant and animal oils. | | Uses | Margaric acid (Heptadecanoic acid, C17) may be used as a reference during the analysis of medium-chain fatty acids from biomaterials such as seed oils and plant and animal oils.
