Oleic Acid

Oleic acid as its sodium salt is a major component of soap as an emulsifying agent. It is also used as emollient. Small amounts of oleic acid are used as an excipient in pharmaceuticals, oleic acid is used as an emulsifying or solubilizing agent in aerosol products. Small amounts of oleic acid are used as an excipient in pharmaceuticals. It is used as an emulsifying or solubilizing agent in aerosol products. Oleic acid have been shown to be important for the growth and productivity of Chinese Hamster cells. Functions of Oleic Acid in Cell Culture Systems: Long-term energy storage: energy derived from NADPH and ATP is stored in fatty acids. Fatty acids are esterified to a glycerol backbone to form a group of compounds known as mono-, di- and tri- glycerides (neutral fats). Energy is released when fatty acids are degraded. It is estimated that 40% of active substances are poorly soluble in water. The improvement of bio-availability of drugs with such properties presents one of the greatest challenges in drug formulations. This can be overcomed easily by using lipid based exciepients such as oleic acid to improve drug delivery system. Self emulsifying drug delivery system is one of the potential approaches for poorly soluble drugs which can be easily overcome by Oleic acid. Henceforth one can see a wide use of oleic acid as an excipient in drug delivery system.

Oleic acid is used as a component in many foods, in the form of its triglycerides. It is a component of the normal human diet, being a part of animal fats and vegetable oils.

Chemical characterization : Oleic acid is a fatty acid that occurs naturally in various animal  and vegetable fats and oils. It is an odorless, colorless oil, Although commercial samples may be yellowish.
In chemical terms, oleic acid is classified as a monosaturated omega -9 fatty acid, abbreviated with a lipid number of 18:1 cis-9.
It has the formula CH3(CH2)7CH=CH(CH2)7COOH.The name derives from the Latin word oleum, which means oil.
It is the most common fatty acid in nature.The salts and esters of oleic acid are called oleates.

Oleic acid 112-80-1 100 Toxicological Data on Ingredients: Oleic acid: ORAL (LD50): Acute: 25000 mg/kg [Rat]. 28000 mg/kg [Mouse].
Potential Acute Health Effects: In case of skin contact (irritant, permeator), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation.

Precaution for fire-fighters Self contained breathing apparatus or apparatus should attached to air supply.

Note:Fired materilas vapours are heavier than air and may travel along the ground for.

Storage Ensure Adequate Ventilation

The product causes corrosion on skin and mucous membranes GENERALLY Pl. Note that In case of discharge of acidic or alkaline products into the sewerage system the pH must be in the range of 6-10 since higher or lower pH values may damage the sewerage system or impair biological dosage treatment plants. So that for maintaining pH we have to add acidic / basic medium neutaliser . For example if pH is less than 6 basic neutraliser is required and if pH is more than 10 aci- dic nature neutraliser is required. For details of any guideline pl.
