QUICK LINKS

Methyl Pentacosanoate appears as a white to pale yellow crystalline powder. While it doesn′t dissolve in water, it readily mixes with organic solvents like ethanol and chloroform. This ester is often detected in oils derived from plants and animals, including coconut and palm kernel oil. Methyl Pentacosanoate is the methyl ester of 25-carbon, fully saturated fatty acid pentacosanoic acid. It provides a useful standard in total fatty acid analysis.
