Oleic acid, a naturally occurring monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid, is abundantly present in a diverse range of animal and plant fats and oils. This oil, typically colorless and odorless, may exhibit a subtle yellow tint in commercial samples. Chemically classified as a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid, oleic acid is intricately associated with olive oil, a substance primarily composed of this beneficial compound.
Manufacturing Process
A combination of fats, such as vegetable oil, lard, and cattle tallow, are usually used in the oleic acid synthesis process. This combination is hydrolyzed and refined to produce mixed fatty acids. These fatty acids are compressed under cold conditions to produce stearic and oleic acid. After that, crude oleic acid is produced via a sequence of dehydration and distillation procedures, with stearic acid produced as a byproduct. Remarkably, oleic acid makes up around 80% of the distillate that is produced in this manner.
