GENERAL INFORMATION
Acid Fats - Fatty Oil -
Supplier and Wholesaler
Our company has been providing fatty acids, fats and oils since 1838. We are a well established company dedicated to quality products at very competitive prices. Please
contact us for more information on our fatty acids, oils and fats.
Fatty Acids are organic, monobasic acids derived from hydrocarbons by the equivalent of oxidation of a methyl group to an
alcohol, aldehyde, and then acid. Fatty acids are saturated and unsaturated (fatty acids, unsaturated).
Our company offers ricinoleic acids, dehydrated castor fatty acids, and oleic acids,
such as white olein and red oils.
Fatty Acids - Oleic Acids -- WHC 401
The OLEIC ACID, QsHaA, or C8HI7-CH:CH- [CH2]7 CO2 H, is an organic acid occurring as a glyceride, triolein, in nearly
all fats, and in many oils, olive, almond, cod-liver, etc.
It appears as a by-product in the manufacture of candles. To prepare oleic acid, the olive oil is saponified with potash, and lead
acetate added; the lead salts are separated, dried, and extracted with ether, which dissolves the lead oleate; the solution is then treated with hydrochloric acid, the lead chloride filtered off, the
liquid concentrated, and finally distilled under diminished pressure.
Oleic acid is a colorless, odourless solid, melting at 14 and boiling at 223 (10 mm.). On exposure it turns yellow, becoming
rancid. Nitric acid oxidizes it to all the fatty acids from acetic to capric. Nitrous acid gives the isomeric elaidic acid, C8H17-CH:CH-(CH2]7-C02H, which is crystalline and melts at 51. Hydriodic acid
reduces both oleic and elaidic acids to stearic acid.
