Palmitic acid is one of the most common saturated fatty acids found naturally in animals and plants. It is also found in fats and waxes such as olive oil, palm oil, and body lipids. Palmitic acid occurs in the form of esters (glycerides) in oils and fats of vegetable and animal origin.
Palmitic acid comes from a vegetable origin. It is primarily obtained by the hydrolysis of palm oil (or its fractions as stearin), followed by total or partial hydrogenation, and subsequently distillation.
