Clear pale to dark yellow liquid
Reported found in banana, grape, grapefruit juice, melon, strawberries, mushroom and cassava.
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.
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.
ChEBI: A fatty acid methyl ester of linoleic acid. It has been isolated from Neolitsea daibuensis.
Methyl linoleate, non-conjugated, is more easily oxidized than conjugated methyl linoleate .
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.
