Products Description of Fatty Acids, Soya CAS#68308-53-2
Fatty Acids, Soya is a blend of fatty acids obtained from soybean oil via hydrolysis and further processing. It consists predominantly of unsaturated fatty acids: oleic acid (ω-9), linoleic acid (ω-6) and linolenic acid (ω-3), alongside minor saturated fatty acids including palmitic acid and stearic acid. In typical compositions, linoleic acid accounts for the largest share at approximately 50%–60%, followed by oleic acid at 20%–30%, and linolenic acid ranging from 5% to 10%.
In terms of physical properties, the product is a pale yellow, transparent oily liquid which may undergo partial solidification at low temperatures. It possesses a distinctive oily odour and a mild flavour, rendering it suitable for diverse food, cosmetic and industrial applications.
