Oleic acid

Oleic acid is a pale yellow oily liquid at room temperature, slightly soluble in water and easily soluble in organic solvents. It exhibits high lubricity, stability, biocompatibility, and is biodegradable. Main sources: animal and vegetable oils (such as olive oil, palm oil, tallow), industrially prepared through hydrolysis and fractionation of oils or hydrocracking.

Application Areas
1. Food Additives:
Food Additives: Oleic acid is used as a food additive, primarily to improve the taste and texture of food. It is also used in the production of edible oils, such as olive oil, which contains a high proportion of oleic acid.
Emulsifier: Oleic acid is used as an emulsifier in food preparation, helping to mix oil and water phases and improve food texture.
2. Chemical Industry
Surfactant Manufacturing: Oleic acid can be used to synthesize surfactants, such as oleamide, for the production of detergents, cleaners, and cosmetics. These products exhibit excellent cleaning and emulsifying properties.
3. Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
Drug Preparation: Oleic acid can serve as a raw material in drug preparation for synthesizing intermediates of certain drugs. It is also used in some ointments and topical drug formulations.
Drug Delivery: Oleic acid is used in drug delivery systems, such as nanodrug carriers, to enhance the bioavailability of drugs.
4. Daily Chemical Industry
Soaps and Shampoos: Oleic acid is one of the main ingredients in many soaps and shampoos, providing stable foam and good cleaning and lubricating effects.
Skincare Products: Due to its moisturizing properties, oleic acid is often used in skincare products such as creams, lotions, and hand creams to help keep the skin hydrated.

Stability and Storage Conditions
Oleic acid is relatively safe for humans under normal use conditions, but direct contact with skin and eyes should be avoided.
Long-term exposure to high concentrations may cause skin irritation or allergic reactions.
Appropriate protective measures, such as wearing suitable protective clothing, gloves, and goggles, should be taken when using or handling oleic acid.
During storage and handling, care should be taken to prevent contact with oxidizers or flammable materials to avoid fire risks.
