Description:

Oleic acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) that is commonly found in various animal and vegetable fats. It’s one of the most abundant fatty acids in the human diet, especially in olive oil, where it can make up around 55-83% of the oil’s content.

• Chemical structure: It has 18 carbon atoms and one double bond, making it a “C18:1” fatty acid.
• Health benefits: As a monounsaturated fat, it’s associated with several health benefits, such as improving heart health by reducing bad cholesterol levels (LDL) and increasing good cholesterol (HDL). It’s also thought to have anti-inflammatory effects.
• Sources: Besides olive oil, oleic acid is found in other oils like canola oil, avocado oil, and even in animal fats (though in smaller amounts).
• Uses: Oleic acid is used in various industries, including in cosmetics, as an emulsifier in creams and lotions, and in the food industry for its stability at high cooking temperatures.
