Product Details
Soybean oleic acid is a mixed fatty acid derived from soybean oil through hydrolysis and other processing methods. Its main components are unsaturated fatty acids, including oleic acid (ω-9), linoleic acid (ω-6), and linolenic acid (ω-3), along with a small proportion of saturated fatty acids such as palmitic acid and stearic acid. Typically, linoleic acid is the most abundant, comprising approximately 50%–60%, followed by oleic acid at about 20%–30%, and linolenic acid ranging from 5%–10%. The product appears as a light yellow, transparent, oil-like liquid that may partially solidify at low temperatures, and has a characteristic oily aroma with a mild taste.
