Product Description of Fatty Acids, Soya CAS#68308-53-2

Soybean oleic acid is a mixed fatty acid derived from soybean oil through hydrolysis and other processing methods. Its main constituents include unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid (ω-9), linoleic acid (ω-6), and linolenic acid (ω-3), along with a small proportion of saturated fatty acids like palmitic acid and stearic acid. Typically, linoleic acid makes up about 50–60%, oleic acid about 20–30%, and linolenic acid about 5–10% of the composition.

Physically, it appears as a light yellow, transparent, oil-like liquid that may partially solidify at low temperatures. It possesses a characteristic oily aroma and a mild taste.
