| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Heptadecanoic acid, or margaric acid, is a saturated fatty acid. Its molecular formula is CH3(CH2)15COOH. It occurs as a trace component of the fat and milkfat of ruminants, but it does not occur in any natural animal or vegetable fat at concentrations over half a percent. Salts and esters of heptadecanoic acid are called heptadecanoates. | [Chemical Properties]
off-white powder | [Uses]
Heptadecanoic acid is a saturated fatty acid and occurs as a trace component of the fat in ruminants. | [Uses]
Margaric acid (Heptadecanoic acid, C17) may be used as a reference during the analysis of medium-chain fatty acids from biomaterials such as seed oils and plant and animal oils.
