From the vast landscapes of Oman to the bustling industries worldwide, certain chemicals have carved a niche for themselves. Erucic acid is a standout compound in this respect, highly valued across various sectors. At the heart of its supply chain in Oman is Muscat Chemical, a beacon of excellence and commitment. Herein lies the tale of our journey with Erucic acid.
CAS No:
112-86-7
Formula:
C22H42O2
Product Description
Erucic acid, a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid, is found in various oils like rapeseed, mustard, and wallflower seeds. It's a colorless, odorless, tasteless compound, boasting a wide array of applications, especially in the industrial sector.
Usage and Applications
Erucic acid is a long-chain monounsaturated fatty acid primarily found in certain vegetable oils, with various applications in different sectors. Here are extensive details about the applications and uses of erucic acid in various industries:
1. Industrial Uses:
-
Lubricants: Erucic acid has lubricating properties and can be used as a component in industrial lubricants and greases.
-
Textile Industry: It can be utilized in the textile industry for its lubricating and conditioning properties in the processing of natural and synthetic fibers.
2. Food Industry:
- Edible Oils: Erucic acid-rich oils, such as rapeseed oil (canola oil), are used for culinary purposes. However, breeding efforts have significantly reduced erucic acid levels in canola oil due to potential health concerns.
3. Cosmetics and Personal Care Products:
- Skin and Hair Care: Erucic acid is used in cosmetics and personal care products, particularly in moisturizers and hair conditioners, for its emollient properties.
4. Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Applications:
- Topical Ointments: It can be included in topical pharmaceutical formulations for its potential skin-conditioning effects.
5. Research and Development:
- Chemical Research: Erucic acid is used in chemical research and development as a reference compound or starting material for various reactions and studies, especially in lipid chemistry.
6. Limited Agricultural Use:
- Pesticides: Erucic acid-based derivatives may find applications in pesticide formulations, but its use in this sector is relatively limited.
It's important to note that while erucic acid has industrial and cosmetic applications, its use in edible oils has decreased significantly due to potential health concerns. High levels of erucic acid have been associated with adverse health effects, such as heart problems, and therefore, breeding efforts have focused on reducing erucic acid content in canola oil to make it safer for consumption.
Erucic acid's applications are diverse, with its historical significance in edible oils and continued use in various industrial and cosmetic products. However, its role in edible oils has evolved to prioritize health and safety considerations, leading to the production of low-erucic acid canola oil, which is widely consumed today.
