Chemical Properties
Clear pale to dark yellow liquid
Occurrence
Reported found in banana, grape, grapefruit juice, melon, strawberries, mushroom and cassava.
Uses
In the vitamin industry.
Uses
Methyl Linoleate is a common methyl ester produced from soybean or canola oil and methanol. Methyl Linoleate is classified as a biodiesel due to its long methyl ester chain and is used as a fuel in st
andard diesel engines.
Uses
The oxidation of methyl linoleate in organic solution and phosphatidylcholine (PC) in liposomal membranes induced by an azo initiator has often been used as a model for lipid peroxidation in vivo Methyl linoleate may be used as a model compound in oxidation/peroxidation assays to evaluate the anti-peroxidation activity of fullerenes, ellagitannins and other natural products.
Definition
ChEBI: A fatty acid methyl ester of linoleic acid. It has been isolated from Neolitsea daibuensis.
General Description
Methyl linoleate, non-conjugated, is more easily oxidized than conjugated methyl linoleate .
Biochem/physiol Actions
Methyl linoleate may be used as a model compound in oxidation/peroxidation assays to evaluate the anti-peroxidation activity of fullerenes, ellagitannins and other natural products.
