Fatty Acid - Oleo Chemicals
Fatty acids have a wide range of commercial applications. For example, they are used not only in the production of numerous food products but also in soaps, detergents, and cosmetics. Soaps are the sodium and potassium salts of fatty acids. Some skin-care products contain fatty acids, which can help maintain healthy skin appearance and function. Fatty acids, particularly omega-3 fatty acids, are also commonly sold as dietary supplements.
The fatty acids are high-value compounds used in the food and pharmaceutical areas. They are marketed predominantly in the form of edible oils, supplements in the form of gelatinous tablets, intravenous emulsions, and in oil-based products of topical use.
