EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID), (or hexadecanoic acid in IUPAC nomenclature), is a fatty acid with a 16-carbon chain.
EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) is the most common saturated fatty acid found in animals, plants and microorganisms.
EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID)'s chemical formula is CH3(CH2)14COOH, and its C:D (the total number of carbon atoms to the number of carbon-carbon double-bonds) is 16:0.
EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) is a major component of the oil from the fruit of oil palms (palm oil), making up to 44% of total fats.
Meats, cheeses, butter, and other dairy products also contain palmitic acid, amounting to 50–60% of total fats.
Palmitates are the salts and esters of EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID).
The palmitate anion is the observed form of EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) at physiologic pH (7.4).
EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) is one of several fatty acids used in skin care as an emollient or moisturiser.
Fatty acids are oily molecules that combine with glycerol to make the many fats found in nature.
EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) is most commonly produced from palm oil, although EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) is found in smaller amounts in other vegetable oils as well as dairy and meat.
To produce pure EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID), the oil is boiled to break the fatty acids off of the glycerol and then the different acids are separated out based on their boiling point.
In skin care products EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) is commonly used in the form of an alkali salt, where the fatty acid has been reacted with an alkali like sodium hydroxide to produce sodium palmitate.
As a fatty acid, EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) can act as an emollient.
When applied to the skin by lotions, creams or bath oils, emollients can soften the skin and help it retain moisture by forming an oily, water blocking layer that slows the loss of water through the skin.
EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) can improve dry and flaky skin as well as conditions like psoriasis and eczema.
One of the main functions of EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) alkali salts is that they acts as emulsifiers and surfactants, allowing oil based, hydrophobic molecules to interact with water where normally they would repel each other.
EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) works by the fatty acid end of the salt interacting with the oil while the salt end interacts with the water creating an adapter between oil and water.
In some products this increases the stability of the product as oil and water would naturally separate without EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID).
In soaps and cleansing oils, the fatty end grabs oil and water-resistant make up on your skin while the salt end then lets water wash everything off.
EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) is a kind of common saturated fatty acid of a 16-carbon backbone, which is contained in fats and waxes.
EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) naturally exists in palm oil and palm kernel oil, and can also be found in butter, cheese, milk, meat, cocoa butter, soybean oil and sunflower oil.
EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) can be produced by many kinds of plants and organisms.
EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) can be used for the production of soap, cosmetics, and industrial mold release agents.
EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) is also a food processing aid.
EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) can also be used to produce cetyl alocohol which is useful in the production of detergents and cosmetics.
Recently, EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) has been also used for the manufacture of a long-acting antipsychotic medication, paliperidone palmitate.
Biochemistry
Excess carbohydrates in the body are converted to EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID).
EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) is the first fatty acid produced during fatty acid synthesis and is the precursor to longer fatty acids.
As a consequence, EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) is a major body component of animals.
In humans, one analysis found it to make up 21–30% (molar) of human depot fat, and EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) a major, but highly variable, lipid component of human breast milk.
Palmitate negatively feeds back on acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), which is responsible for converting acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA, which in turn is used to add to the growing acyl chain, thus preventing further palmitate generation.
Some proteins are modified by the addition of a palmitoyl group in a process known as palmitoylation.
Palmitoylation is important for localisation of many membrane proteins.
EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) is a component of membrane phospholipids (PL) and adipose triacylglycerols (TAG).
Elevated levels of palmitic acid contributes to the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes mellitus, neurodegenerative diseases, obesity and cancer.
EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) promotes apoptosis in the endothelial cell by modulating the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway and favors expression of TNF-α and reactive oxygen species accumulation.
EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) promotes interleukin 8 (IL-8) synthesis in hepatocytes contributing to hepatic inflammation.
EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) by interacting with toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) induces inflammatory injury in cardiomyoctes.
Uses
EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) is a fatty acid which is a mixture of solid organic acids from fats consisting principally of palmitic acid with varying amounts of stearic acid.
EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) functions as a lubricant, binder, and defoaming agent.
EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) is one of the skin’s major fatty acids produced by the sebaceous glands.
In cosmetic preparations, EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) is used as a formula texturizer.
EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) is naturally occurring in allspice, anise, calamus oil, cascarilla bark, celery seed, coffee, tea, and many animal fats and plant oils.
EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) is obtained from palm oil, Japan wax, or Chinese vegetable tallow.
EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) is a common fatty acid found in plants and animals.
The body converts excess carbohydrates into EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID), thus EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) is the first fatty acid produced during fatty acid synt hesis as well as a precursor for longer fatty acids.
EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) is mainly used to produce soaps, cosmetics, and release agents.
These applications utilize sodium palmitate, which is commonly obtained by saponification of palm oil.
To this end, palm oil, rendered from the coconut palm nut, is treated with sodium hydroxide (in the form of caustic soda or lye), which causes hydrolysis of the ester groups.
This procedure affords glycerol and sodium palmitate.
Because EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) is inexpensive and adds texture to processed foods (convenience food), EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) and its sodium salt find wide use including foodstuffs.
Sodium palmitate is permitted as a natural additive in organic products.
Hydrogenation of EDENOR C16-98 MY (PALMITIC ACID) yields cetyl alcohol, which is used to produce detergents and cosmetics.
Recently, a long-acting antipsychotic medication, paliperidone palmitate (marketed as INVEGA Sustenna), used in the treatment of schizophrenia, has been synthesized using the oily palmitate ester as a long-acting release carrier medium when injected intramuscularly.
The underlying method of drug delivery is similar to that used with decanoic acid to deliver long-acting depot medication, in particular, neuroleptics such as haloperidol decanoate.
