12-Hydroxyoctadecanoic acid is a naturally occurring fatty acid found in various sources, including vegetable oils, animal fats, and human tissue. 12-Hydroxyoctadecanoic acid is a crystalline solid that is white or off-white in color. It is insoluble in water and ether but soluble in chloroform, acetone, and ethanol. It can be used as a surfactant or emulsifier in various formulations due to its unique surface-active properties. It can also be used in the production of biodegradable polymers or in the synthesis of other fatty acid derivatives.
