Palmitic Acid CAS#57-10-3

Palmitic acid is a form of frequent saturated fatty acid of a 16-carbon backbone, which is contained in fat and waxes. It naturally exists in palm oil and palm kernel oil, and can additionally be located in butter, cheese, milk, meat, cocoa butter, soybean oil and sunflower oil. It can be produced by way of many sorts of plant life and organisms. It can be used for the manufacturing of soap, cosmetics, and industrial mould launch agents. It is additionally a meals processing aid. It can additionally be used to produce cetyl alocohol which is beneficial in the manufacturing of detergents and cosmetics. Recently, it has been additionally used for the manufacture of a long-acting antipsychotic medication, paliperidone palmitate.
