Oleic Acid Rancidity and Storage

Question

Does the Oleic Acid sold by the company have a rancid smell?

Answer

Oleic Acid Rancidity

Oleic Acid, even at 90% purity, is a fatty acid that can be susceptible to oxidation over time. Oxidation is a natural process that can lead to the development of a "rancid" or off odor, especially if the product is exposed to air, light, or heat.

The quality of the raw material and proper storage conditions are key factors in minimizing rancidity. While the Oleic Acid (90%) we offer is a high-purity product, it is recommended to store it in a cool, dark place in a tightly sealed container to help maintain its quality and prevent oxidation.
