9,10-Epoxystearic acid
9,10-epoxystearate, also known as 18:0(9ep) or 9,10-epoxystearic acid, 14c-acid, belongs to lineolic acids and derivatives class of compounds. Those are derivatives of lineolic acid. Lineolic acid is a polyunsaturated omega-6 18 carbon long fatty acid, with two CC double bonds at the 9- and 12-positions. Thus, 9,10-epoxystearate is considered to be an octadecanoid lipid molecule. 9,10-epoxystearate is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 9,10-epoxystearate can be found in a number of food items such as garden cress, silver linden, european chestnut, and soft-necked garlic, which makes 9,10-epoxystearate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
