Palmitolinoleic acid, also known as 9-hexadecenoic acid, is a monounsaturated fatty acid characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain and a double bond located at the ninth carbon from the carboxylic end. It has the molecular formula C16H30O2 and a CAS number of 5070-03-1. This fatty acid is typically found in various natural sources, including certain plant oils and animal fats. Its structure contributes to its properties, such as being liquid at room temperature and having a relatively low melting point compared to saturated fatty acids. Palmitolinoleic acid is known for its potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties and its role in cellular functions. It is also involved in lipid metabolism and can influence the fluidity of cell membranes. As a component of dietary fats, it may play a role in cardiovascular health and overall metabolic processes. However, further research is needed to fully understand its biological effects and potential applications in nutrition and medicine.
