Researchers developed a biorefinery model in BioSTEAM to evaluate industrial-grade azelaic acid production from high-oleic soybean oil using the two-step oxidative cleavage (TSOC) process. The modeled ...

Azelaic acid is a renewable monomer used in the production of lubricants, polymers, and skincare. While conventionally ...

A popular fat found in olive oil may not be as innocent as it seems. Scientists discovered that oleic acid, a major component of many high-fat foods, uniquely spurs the growth of new fat cells by ...

Oleic acid is the most abundant fatty acid in plasma and has been associated with multiple neurologic diseases. However, the relationship between oleic acid and depression is unclear. This ...

Oleic acid is a monounsaturated fat found. Foods like olive oil, canola oil, sunflower oil, avocados, and nuts contain high amounts of oleic acid. Classified as an omega-9 fatty acid, oleic acid is ...
