rac-3-Hydroxyoctadecanoic Acid Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Description

3-hydroxy Stearic acid is a long-chain saturated fatty acid and intermediate in the production of 3-hydroxy octadecanedioic acid from stearic acid . 3-hydroxy Stearic acid is found in C. pyloridis, a bacteria implicated in the etiology of peptic ulcers. [Matreya, LLC. Catalog No. 1743]

Uses

rac-3-Hydroxyoctadecanoic acid is a fatty acid found in foodstuffs such as vegetable oils, milk, and dairy products. rac-3-Hydroxyoctadecanoic acid is also used as a chemical marker to identify and confirm the presence of Campylobacter pylori, a gram-negative bacteria that cause duodenal ulcers in humans.

Definition

ChEBI: 3-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid is a 3-hydroxy monocarboxylic acid and a hydroxyoctadecanoic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 3-hydroxyoctadecanoate.
