Product Introduction

α-linoleic acid, also known as cis-9,12-octadecadienoic acid, is a polyunsaturated fatty acid and one of the essential fatty acids. It is widely found in vegetable oils such as sunflower oil, corn oil and soybean oil.

Product Properties

α-linoleic acid is a transparent, light yellow liquid with a typical fatty acid odor. It is easily oxidized in the air, so it needs to be stored away from light. Due to the two double bonds in its structure, α-linoleic acid has high biological activity.

Main Uses

1. Nutritional Supplement

α-linoleic acid is an essential fatty acid in human and animal nutrition. Its metabolites in the human body are important nutrients for the brain and can effectively support brain health. As a nutritional supplement, α-linoleic acid can improve the body's immunity, maintain skin health, and promote growth and development.

2. Medical Applications

α-linoleic acid is widely used in the medical field to prevent and treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, especially atherosclerosis. It can lower blood lipids and reduce cholesterol levels, thereby preventing arteriosclerosis. Long-term use of α-linoleic acid generally has no obvious side effects, although mild gastrointestinal reactions such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea may sometimes occur, but these symptoms will gradually disappear with continued use.

3. Industrial Applications

In the industrial field, α-linoleic acid is widely used in the production of coatings and varnishes as a drying oil. It is also an important raw material for products such as paints, inks and plastics. In addition, α-linoleic acid is also used to produce compounds such as amides, polyesters and polyureas. Its sodium or potassium salt form can be used as a component of soap, and can also be used as a surfactant such as an emulsifier.

4. Biochemical Research

α-linoleic acid plays an important role in biochemical research, especially in the study of cell membrane structure and function, lipid metabolism and signal transduction. α-linoleic acid is an indispensable research material.

Multifunctional application: Whether in nutritional supplementation, medical prevention, or industrial production, α-linoleic acid has demonstrated its versatility and wide application prospects.
