Chemical Information
FooDB Name(Z,Z)-9,12-Octadecadienoic acid
DescriptionConstituent of most vegetable oils and animal fats. The Fe salt is the major component of metallic drier compositions used to line food cans Linoleic acid is one of two essential fatty acids that humans and other animals must ingest for good health, because the body requires them for various biological processes, but cannot synthesize them from other food components. (Z,Z)-9,12-Octadecadienoic acid is found in many foods, some of which are green bean, cloves, kumquat, and pecan nut.
