BENEFITS:
Potassium Oleate is a fatty acid found in animal and vegetable oils.
Potassium Oleate is a mono-saturated fat generally believed to be good for one's health.
Indeed, Potassium Oleate is the chief fatty acid found in olive oil, comprising 55 to 85 percent of the important substance, which is commonly used in Mediterranean cuisine and has been hailed for its therapeutic characteristics since antiquity.
Modern studies support the notion of the benefits of consuming olive oil, since evidence suggests that Potassium Oleate helps lower levels of harmful low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) in the bloodstream, while leaving levels of beneficial high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) unchanged.
Found also in significant quantities in canola, cod liver, coconut, soybean, and almond oils, Potassium Oleate can be consumed from a variety of sources, some of which may soon contain even higher levels of the valuable fatty acid due to the efforts of genetic engineers.
Potassium Oleate occurs naturally in greater quantities than any other fatty acid.
Potassium Oleate is present as glycerides in most fats and oils. High concentrations of Potassium Oleate can lower blood levels of cholesterol.
Potassium Oleate is used in the food industry to make synthetic butters and cheeses.
Potassium Oleate is also used to flavor baked goods, candy, ice cream, and sodas.
According to the American Diabetes Association, more than 25 million Americans have diabetes.
In addition, 7 million have undiagnosed diabetes, and 79 million others have prediabetes.
In a study published in February 2000 in the medical journal "QJM," researchers in Ireland found that diets rich in Potassium Oleate improved the participants' fasting plasma glucose, insulin sensitivity and blood circulation.
Lower fasting glucose and insulin levels, along with enhanced blood flow, suggest better diabetes control and less risk for other diseases.
For millions of people with diagnosed diabetes and prediabetes, consuming foods rich in Potassium Oleate may be beneficial in controlling the disease.

PRODUCTION METHOD:
Potassium Oleate and other fatty acids together, are presented in all kinds of animal and vegetable oil fats in the form of glycerides.
In animal fats, Potassium Oleate can account for about 40-50% of the fatty acids.
Potassium Oleates content in the vegetable oil can vary largely with the content in tea oil being as high as 83%, being 54% in peanut oil while the coconut oil only contains about 5-6%.
Potassium Oleate is the co-product upon the production of stearic acid.
The industrial stearic acid and industrial Potassium Oleate actually both contain other fatty acids.
There are many oil fats raw materials used for the production of stearic acid and Potassium Oleate.
The industry generally take mixed fat formulations, such as 30% melting beef tallow, 10% melting lard, 40% of bone oil and 20% of cottonseed oil.
In the mixed fatty acid obtained through refinement and hydrolysis of oil fat, the difference of the melting point between the saturated and unsaturated acid is large.
The yield of stearic acid and Potassium Oleate depends mainly on the oil ester formula. Under normal circumstances, cold compressing can give 30-50% Potassium Oleate and 50-70% stearic acid.
Put the animal and vegetable oils and emulsions to hydrolysis at 105 ℃; remove the stearic acid after one step of compressing.
Separate out the crude Potassium Oleate and conduct dehydration, distillation and freezing; then conduct the second time compressing to remove palmitic acid, and finally obtain the finished product through refinement and dehydration.
This method can be applied for co-production of stearic acid. For the same logic, use Potassium Oleate for production of stearic acid will also produce Potassium Oleate.
Fixed consumption amount of raw materials: animal and vegetable oils and fats: 1950 kg/t, sulfuric acid (98%) 210kg/t.
Use oil fat containing a certain amount of Potassium Oleate as raw materials, for example, tallow, lard, palm oil and hydrolyze out the fatty acids.
Use solvent to dissolve fatty acids and cool it to remove solid fatty acids and obtain the crude Potassium Oleate.
Then further dissolve it in the solvent, cooling at low temperature to crystallize the Potassium Oleate out.
